So today I went out with the intention of flying my blunt nose Versa, with my GoPro on the front.
It (was) my third Version at this plane as I managed to smash the last 2, one being pilot error, another a cheap transmitter.
I'd flown this plane before, its awesome! Even had it slope soaring in some crazy winds with no trouble.
I mounted my GoPro in the front with the front half of a broken case I had lying around. It just didn't have a back so I strapped it in with a velcro strap. I managed to get some awesome photos of my inlaw's house they are building with mk.2
I did a pre-flight check, turned my GoPro wifi on, got everything sorted, threw my plane up to a good height, flying around and started loosing control. I had controls every once in a while but they would get stuck on, which made for awesome loops, but ultimately ended in the destruction of my plane, and my GoPro screen, and a LiPo.
So I jumped on google, turns out I'm not the first person to have a problem like this. Wifi operates at 2.4Ghz, which is the same as my Frsky module and receiver.
This sucks, but live and learn I guess. I just hope people read this and don't do the same, if I can save one plane, all this typing will be worth it.... hahahahaha
