@speedbirdted My tree sprouted a Drone!

When your battery comes loose mid flight causing you to loose control.... Then you search, and search, and search all around on the ground, about to give up and just happen to look up and find it hanging in a small tree almost over the creek by the battery strap.... You might just say.... "How-Did-That-Even-Happen???"

I have another one of these frames that is still mostly in one piece. Seriously considering glueing them both together to beef up the frame and then putting some extra stout motors on it. REALLY hard to find a 5" protected prop frame.

oops the one with the ripped motor and cut boom was when i throttled up with 4s and my hero 7 and it exploded, and then the other was my dad inverted and he couldnt pull out in time, hit the tail then flipped, hit the landing gear, and somehow remained flying. then on landing the front gear just fell out. lol

What happens when the switch controlling all electronics on board decides to quit working running nitro.
Straight in about as tight as she could go engine just a screaming until the sudden stop from about 250 feet up. There is a nitro engine on the front about 4 to 5 inches down in the dirt. Power and torque.

What happens when doing an inverted high speed pass......flying inverted down is up and up is expensive.
