Crashed my Evo today

gasquetmike · Jan 19, 2020

This was my 71st flight with my Evo. About 6 years flying and over 400 flights total for me. Only my second crash. First was a DJI Phantom 2.5 .Both along the same river..Thought i was heading to the center of the river? Not sure where the dang tree came from!
Just checked the data on the explorer app, 0 satellites connected. Can anyone say pilot error! After hitting the tree about 40 feet up and coming down through the trees (all i saw was orange falling) and landing in the brush along a cliff...it has no damage...not 1 scratch! The battery came off, had to turn it off. but other than that it flys and videos perfect....LUCKY!!!

That's one tough bird! I had a "soft" crash as well. No damage!

You know the terrestrial attraction, now you know the fir attraction. Be careful, they are voracious.
Fat lucky.

Husband: Hi honey, I have some bad news. I crashed my Evo.

Wife: Awe I'm sorry to hear that. I'll make you a deal. Why don't you get one of those Evo 2 thingies you won't shut up about and I'll buy some more shoes. Deal?

You got this all wrong.

Husband: Hi honey, I have some bad news. I crashed my Evo.

Wife: I told you so. That drone was a waste of money and you never take care of your things. This time is my turn to get something and I want a new pair of heels.

Wife: Honey I think our Amex was compromised. I see there was a charge for $1475.00. It's from something robotics?

Husband: Hmm that's weird I'll check it out later. BTW check out these $150 boots I bought ya.

Super model wife: Sweety, why don't you go buy one of those Evo 2s? I just love to make you happy.

Husband: Well I sure will do that, and by the way get in the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans, I'm hungry.

What happened with the obstacle avoidance?

claudius62 · Jan 25, 2020

It did not arrive from the front on the tree, it came sideways on a slide, the avoidance did not have time to react. He would have arrived in front of the tree, he could have stopped the Evo. This is what thinks.

There are other advantages about having a wife. I mean, doesn't your hand get tired? Don't get me started on hand cramps. ??

I mean, who's going to rub your feet and make you sandwiches when you get home?

That's why I hired chicks to rub my feet and prepare me food. [emoji14]
