2012 FPV Quadcopter Crash Reel

356 Views · Posted 11 years ago

Part of learning to fly is crashing (unless you are an actual pilot in which case this is very bad).

So it's time to don my clown nose and present my blooper reel from 2012. Hopefully 2013's will be shorter.

In fairness, the majority of these crashes were caused by radio dropouts, and since upgrading my radio, this hasn't been an issue. One was caused by a broken prop. The others are mea culpa.

All up, the VC450 is a tough little frame. I've broken the landing gear a lot, and a few props, but never an arm or anything more serious.

Music is an excerpt from "Stacked It" by now-defunct Brisbane band Taxi. I miss those guys. They were funny bastards. Unfortunately I don't know where or if you can purchase their stuff...

Gear list:

Hoverthings VC-450 with DJI Naza
Gopro Hero 2
Fatshark Dominators
Immersion RC 600mw 5.8ghz TX
Cloverleaf antennas
Quadframe Gopro Gimbal
Spektrum DX8 with AR8000 receiver
Turnigy nano-tech 3300mah 3S batteries
