Didn't keep a good enough eye on the amp draw on this self build FPV quad. I just had to go try 1 last loop before landing. The goggles went black and I ended up in the mud. No damage done, apart from my pride.....Stripped her down, cleaned her and she's good as new again. Shot with DJI Action 2. The quad is all about speed with some powerful 2207-2005KV motors - Flown and crashed this afternoon on the way home from work - I don't tend to crash all that often either

Wow, that was some exhilarating footage, right up until the end that is. That is one super fast quad Corey. Glad to hear no damage occurred.
Oh she's quick. Need bigger batteries as she can get through the MA's like a hungry hippo

Sounds like my Corvette. When I floor the gas pedal I can watch the petrol gauge head toward empty. Tons of power and speed but sure can guzzle down the fuel.

That was more like me for not watching the amp draw and binning it in the mud.....Shame.....Shame
I know that feeling.
Not missing the amp draw, but missing a shore that arrived sooner than I expected.
Luckily no damage was done. I could park the drone on the beach and walk towards it.....
But man, that feeling.

Thanks Corey. Still recovering from a broken arm and collar bone so will just be a relaxing and taking it easy weekend.
Oh wow man. Quick recovery and get well soon buddy
