and flying them out in the middle of the ocean like rotorpixel's demo videos is not the same as flying them over water at your local lake. saying they are both 'over water' and equivocating the 'risks' is throwing a dozen other factors out the window in the name of semantics.
as i said in my prior post, if you dont give yourself the right homepoint and you also dont OVER compensate for low batteries, then pilot error is to blame not water. as i and gary stated, there are plenty of very easy tactics to counter 99% of the risk.
and he is pretty wrong about land crashes. as i mentioned before, crashes on TAKEOFF AND LANDING are defn recoverable failures (then again nobody ACTUALLY takes off or lands ON water) so that isnt really a comparison. but since 99.9999% of the time these things are over land, they dont crash. it means that 99.9999% of the time they are over water they dont crash. you know why? they dont know what they are flying over. it could be marshmallows and it wouldnt affect crashes.
again, if you HAVE to land and didnt factor all that in above, you are in trouble. i, for one, feel like i can mitigate most of that to the point that im not LIKELY to have a crash. is 99.999% worse than 99.9999%. sure. is it worth me never flying over water, absolutely not.
now if gunny were to just toon this message for me, id be all set...
