The Phantom set off on another daring mission to photo the campsite when 30sec's into the flight all control was lost and the Quadcopter was seen flying out of sight behind the orchard of Apple trees...
A dash to the left confirmed the horror that was about to unfold as the Phantom came back into view heading towards the local body shop garage. Still with no controls the Quad continued it's journey, but hang on it's missed the garage, good news, but now continued on a higher flight path than first realised, then with a crashing sound, the confirmation that the Quad had actually flown at 80ft straight into the forest of trees on the embankment... Bugger!!!
After the initial recovery mission the Quad was eventually recovered with blades still spinning high into the trees, thankfully a Swiss Mountaineer was at hand that rescued the Quad...
Ground test appear to show all systems are working but am waiting to resume flight tests in the future...
God I thought I'd never see the Phantom again... It was sure a close thing!!!
