Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No … it’s my quad stuck up in a tree.
Where to begin … Yesterday, Saturday 17/6/2017, we had round 6 of the MMRC season. I got two 2nd’s & a 3rd which didn’t quite see me get to the finals, but was very happy with the fact that I didn’t get any DNF’s (did not finish) so in my eyes the practise that I am getting in is starting to pay off.
Speaking of practise, I went and had a fly with boys today with a pretty cool track setup, which was super hard for me. I had a couple of bingles and then my reception started to get really staticy and couldn’t see any thing, so I hit the disarm button and was hoping to hear for a thud or someone say “its over here’, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. We ended up having a little hunt for it. Luckily the battery hadn’t came unplugged and we could get some vision out of it. It looked like it was sitting on a log or next to a log, but we still couldn’t find it. In my goggles I found myself and the angle looked like it was from a high place, and bang we found it, up a big tree. Juz had his ladder luckily and armed with a branch we managed to free my beast.
The issue I had was that I had a broken FPV antenna, which didn’t take long to fix out in the field. Massive shout out to those that helped me get my quad back and to those that bring everything out to the field so I could do a repair.
