Thanks Paul for the encouragement. It’s my first week into drones after thinking about it for a while, however I’m now pretty downbeat as unable to find. The last data isn’t helpful but I took a line from where I stood to where the drone dropped...and then circumnavigated 20m , maybe 5-6 times now.Don’t give up Matt,
I’ve lost several
in my career, from lack of experience probably could have found them had I new what I know today.
If possible, go to it’s last location. Then, walk directly on same path had it RTH. It’s here during disconnect, a drone will land between its last know location to the RTH location.
Plus, tall corn stocks/tall grass make it difficult to see even if drone is a few feet away. Just don’t give up, you’ll find it, but probably between it’s last known location to direction of RTH location.
Now, I use a TRACKIMO. The Guardian model, fits nicely onto all my drones. You may want to consider getting some type of tracker, it’ll pay for itself many times over. It has for me, best investment out there.
Today’s flight, mounted tracker to front arm beside body.
Please keep us posted,
Paul

last ditched attempt tomorrow with a friend’s drone to see if we can spot it.
As there is no flight data for the last flight do you think there was an issue with the drone perhaps? I’m not happy if this is just standard practice if it goes down . Surely £1500 in the sky with a faulty item should have the manufacturer looking into it (?)
Thanks again
Matt
