  • Somewhere in Slovenia at 6 a.m. I wanted to fly to a mountain to film the sunrise. Was that a good idea?!Definitely an entertaining flight.
    After the connection was lost, the DVR was no longer recorded by the DJI Integra, I would have had to restart the recording manually, but I think you understand why I can no longer do that.
    That was definitely the craziest flight I've ever done and I've already mentally said goodbye to the quad because I wouldn't have had the time to look for it. The terrain was completely unknown to me and, as you can see, had probably only been entered by a few people.
    As always, I hope you enjoy watching 🫡!!

    Oh my gosh! So happy you got the LR40 back safely and GPS rescue kept you in the sky heading home. I think I’d cry if I lost mine. Stunningly beautiful video with the fog over the hills at sunrise. Were you able to understand the why you had the video signal loss? I noticed you also had a momentary failsafe on the control link too. Are you using ELRS 2.4GHz? Thanks for sharing your videos and safe travels.

      Hello Mark, I think that I misjudged the altitude because of the fog. There were probably trees between me and the quad or the fog was just a nuisance. I use elrs 2.4 and never have any problems with reception with the Turn LR 40. Internally, I had almost given up on the quad after the goggles didn't show any image for a minute. GPS rescue also only climbed to my maximum altitude and that naturally drained the battery. Best regards and many thanks 😊

    Another tip: for long range, you can set up climb 3-5m and then go back, I saw your flight go up around 10-20s. More risky

      @@Andrew_Dai Absolutely right, but I don't just fly the quad in mountainous terrain and often only fly it with a lipo battery in light freestyle. I'm too lazy to adjust the configuration every time. That's why I didn't change the battery warning to li-ion batteries. Best regards and always have a good flight 🫡

      @@ermanpehlivan2335 Hey, in principle I would have gone for 3.2 volts, but I knew that the goal could no longer be achieved with that either. If I have a headwind or am high enough with the quad, I turn around at the latest when the battery is half empty. However, neither of these things happened and I was worried that I would not have enough remaining capacity for an emergency maneuver. And that is exactly what happened, i.e. the emergency maneuver At least everything worked out 😅🫡. Best regards and many thanks
