Скачать или смотреть The 1st FPV drone Building Dive Circa 2016. Gone wrong 😑

Has your heart ever stopped..❤️‍🩹

A clip like this deserves a little backstory.
May, 2016 no one had dove a building with a drone yet. I wanted to be the first to properly do a sky scrapper building dive.
Let me set the scene. @skitzofpv and @stingersswarm and myself setup in an nearby parking lot, a tranquil holiday weekend Sunday sunset, Rocking my prototype 900mHz “long range” crossfire tx at 2W (because power) I take off with my 5” Alien with 3 bladed glass nylon HQ 5x4x3 props (if you touch anything they explode MADE OF LITERAL GLASS) Luckily there was a strategy of flying over the large courtyard below the dive to mitigate a large risk of any issues during the dive.. click record on my un warrantee’d GoPro hero 4 silver…. And start heading for the tallest building in Atlanta. Everything is going smoothly, I am holding the controller up and away from my genitalia because the high power output is causing my Taranis speaker to hum. Friends are watching from a screen tuned into my channel.
Just as I go to set up for the huck into the dive I lose all control. FAILSAFE!
Helpless as the drone is now careening towards the building with props made of literal glass. I hold the radio above my head and start arming and disarming trying to regain control. The aircraft hits the building with a smack, belly flopping (luckily) I frantically re arm and dissarm waiting as patiently as I can for any sign of link. After a few heart stopping seconds on the 3rd rearm, I gain control. Some how no props were broken and I continue the dive and fly the aircraft home to find zero damage other than a few years of life shaved off from the stress of the ordeal.
Needless to say this was a situation that I learned a lot from and I am grateful paned out the way it did.

What was wrong with the radio link …. Oh my Tx antenna was completely severed at the SMA and free spinning.. 2W. No antenna. 🫨
