Well, good comments, i already lost an inspire for not checking the wind, i'll make my history, i was at Bahia de las Aguilas, Pedernales, Dominican Republic, a very nice virgin Beach, i took off, went almost 3kms away from me, everything was perfect, took some pictures, still had 70% battery left, i decided to come back cause i was done with the pictures, in my way back i noticed the aircraft didn't go more than 7 m/s of speed, when i realized it was coming against the wind (25mph), battery was discharging faster cause of the effort, the battery went off 300 meters away from the shoreline, and the drone landed in the sea, 30 feet underwater, a diver that was around managed to recover it for me, but it never worked again, sold it on ebay for parts. I suggest that you always check the speed and the direction of the wind, i had almost a year flying 7-8 hours weekly, and i never imagined that could happen, i hope my story encourage all pilot to verify this before flying and that you never lose an aircraft. |
