Crazy flyer/crasher :D
So I was collecting some footage from a couple of flights near my house.
Over the last week our lake the started to freeze! I thought that nothing could be better then that...up to yesterday.
Well, the Ice was thick enough to carry me but I still tried not to walk over it because it wasn´t assured by our local government and wasn´t marked as safe going on it.
So what me and my brother did is we went to the harbour and made our flights there.
First battery everything is cool.
Second one I lost the orientation because the Tricopter kinda disappeared. I didn´t see it any more because all the trees on the other side of the lake had kinda the same colour as the wood on my Tricopter and I was far away. So I couldn´t see it at all...
As soon as I found it I wasn´t able to tell which position it was in any more and it was falling very fast so it crashed.
The camera (an oldish digicam. You can tell it is not one of the best ones anyway what the quality of the video but it was okay)
One broken arm.
A few magnets of the motor went off. I opened it and glued them all back into place. That motor is still kinda loud but it works... It vibrates more then the others but I´ll have to use it.
The gyro that is standing up got a very small bend into on one side! I tested the board and it worked fine. But I guess a box for the electronics wouldn´t have made a difference because it was falling out of tree hight as you can tell from the video.
Anyway much more happened too. The battery puffed..
Won´t keep you waiting too long. here is the video.
BTW.: How is editing etc?! Always appreciate any kind of feedback. I did the video yesterday evening in a hurry so I am not expecting much.
