Playing with the H , along a two -track road down along the creek. Playing "watch me "
Enjoyed watching the Realsense pick it's way out of a cul-de-sac sack that it flew in.
But it sees what's in front of it. Not over nor under it . Not right or left.
But in order to fly around the obstacle , it must fly in those directions.
I watched it clip a twig , go completely sideways , fall about 8 feet , right itself and make a perfect landing.......in 3 feet of water.
Out of the water in abt 3 mins . Took the battery out first thing .
Hung it in front of a big electric fan , flipped it around and around for 4 days.
Talked to Frank at Carolina Dronz , big help with info, he tells me "main board probably" $150 about.
Soooo I pop in a battery and try a normal start-up. No pops , no bangs , no smoke.
But , I think I smelled a burn.
Any way , landing gear drops , it connects with 16 and camera has a picture . Run a gimble check , moving around fine.
Only one motor runs.
I twiddled all the knobs , pushed all the buttons. Turned all on that was off and visi versa.
Then send it to Carolina Dronz they have had it two weeks. Ordered a board , don't know how long that takes to arrive.
Hopefully Frank will take out his little bones and feathers beat on his tom-tom
And poof it whines again.
I know nothing about electronic stuff.
Remember Kelly's Heroes....Odd Job...
He said about his tank..
" I just drive em , I don't know what makes em go "
So give Carolina Dronz encouragement and help get this geezer flying again .
