This was literally the second pack and I was just dissing out the area with the wind blowing like hell so always seemed to be rolling into the wind so I didn’t get thrown miles out. Normally I am very conscious about keeping it even but am still hella noob
could have been so so much worse. I will actually bring an extinguisher with me when i fly now but lucky it was a club event hey and everyone was right ontop of it. you always hear about it and think it will never happen to you but here we are!
frame is ok, go pro is ok luckily. torched 4 steele motors, esc, fc, leads and cables obviously and worst of all...A BRAND NEW SET OF PROPS!!! hopefully vtx , camera and csfr reciever are ok but i am tempted to 3d print an apex frame and attach the entire mess to it as is and start a fresh electrics build in the frame
Gear list in the decryption above mate but basically a race/freestyle fpv drone , it’s a 5” apex by impulse Rc and then you build it with all the individual components you like
Been there. I always carry a small Walmart spray can fire extinguisher with me when I fly. Not to save the quad so much as to save the surroundings.

What type and brand of drone are u flying

Wonder how that camera stayed up
it lived and continues to work still, just the cover is a bit tacky and jelly....lol
It was in a plastic cover so protected it a little
I can not believe the GoPro recorded the whole aftermath, hopefully this video gets your subscribed count up and starts to pay you.
frame and gopro are ok for sure at this stage but not much else....taking donations! haha
Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
