Should have touched wood on that first post. I was up in the Pyrenees getting some last of the snow shots and video. All was going well until I started to bring her down, the wind was calm and I was watching for VRS when a bloody very low flying jet zipped between the peaks and passed over head. Now I don't know if that caused the downdraft or whether they carry some jamming device, but she didn't like it and was behaving badly all the way down. At about 15 feet she decided to drop faster - now had she been going down onto the grassy part fine, but she decided to land hard on hard packed ice covered snow. No way was I going to run across that - there would have been two crashes. The Rororpixel is now repaired with some light alloy metal I had and a new upper bracket (from UK) and legs (from China) are on the way. Pegasus will fly again.
Oh! I checked out the camera and that's OK.
