6km high altitude gps failure! Panic 30km out 4km alt Crosswind mini long range Pitlab 

Yep but 6km in an unknown area feels may farther away than this event haha. Thanks im also glad i would be really upset if i loose this plane. Everything will fail one day...

Exactly! Experience is the only thing in a situation like this that will you out

Thank me too i love this plane! 5 miles is alo far when you dont know where it is. Glad you got it back

The description says some parts are cgi (unreal) 😉

That’s a really good question. As a LR-UAV pilot and Fixed wing pilot myself, The chances are one in a million if not more. Good pilots will have plans set up for if they have eyesight of traffic, others will also use FlightRadar24 along with their own telemetry and have another person on their laptop monitoring both. Some systems can have that option as an add on. Then there are those that are just plain ignorant of the whole idea that safety is a top priority. But we do our best to ensure mistakes like that don’t happen.

You need to post more often man I’m a subscriber of yours i hate how little you upload i watched that video you mentioned

We got some adventures some times! Staying calm will save use most of the times! I did a landing on 8km out a while ago. Put a smaller liion pack in than my head was thinking haha

@@skyforce1983 who are you talking to?

@@skyforce1983 ow weird 😂😂🤞

Absolutely right! Its not "if" it happens but "when"!

I combine different sizes pack all home build and connect them al in parallel. Biggest pack i got is a 4s 30000mah. The max i flown it with is 4s 60.000mah. 4s 30.000mah pack a 4s 15.000 a 4s 10000mah and a 5000mah all together. Personal record with this plane is 110km out, 300km ground covered and i believe 4,5 hours flighttime easy. The big brother Crosswind Nimbus pro carry around 75.000mah so far and did 117 km out and i believe 5 hours 400km ground covered. Im pretty confident he can do 150km out and 6,5 hours flying. Im building my way up so i find new problems on time when flying so long and so far like flightcontrollers that freaked out because of long runtimes and out of video range enz. Enz. Limiting factor? Fear man it got me every time thats why im slowly pushing it farther out every flight. 🙈 All flown with Crossfire mainly on 1 watt! Soon i need 2 watts... Crossfire is better then Dragonlink these days some laugh about that but come on the proof is here. Thanks man! I think soon im gonna share some more distance stuff 🤞😎

I could enable it in flight but didn't need it luckily 😎

im sorry man somehow i didnt get notifications

3 legged one from Pitlab. Not sure about the exact component thats used

Thanks man!

Nope. There's no difference in efficiency and 4s is more versatile. My big Crosswind got 600kv motors on 4s with 12x10 props instead of 12 amps on 1000kv he's cruising on 7.5 amps right know. Crosswind Mini got aikon 30a sefm esc's. MFD Mytwindream 800kv 2814 motors. (it is really the model of the motor) And 10x6 apc props.

@@itsnotme1295 👍 thanks

Ow crap and you knew where you were flying?

@@itsnotme1295 I flew sometimes in that area but at that altitude was really difficult to know exactly where I was. Fortunately after some minutes my gps came back and I could confirm where I was.

@@ericogr oww you were lucky then!

Yep but no idea how in my setup

My best guess mate! Not sure bit it survived years of flying and after minus 20 it suddenly failed so who knows?

Sorry for teh late answer mate. yep gps module died. I think it was way too cold for the old module

Thanks man! Absolutely right Never loose sight of where you've been flying! But if there was a layer of clouds i was screwed 😅

@@itsnotme1295 You made home just fine!! Do you know why the gps failed??

@@EduardoFritisRealtor that's the most important! Nope still dont know for sure but i blame the cold

@@itsnotme1295 Cool!

hi clasicdemott, have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest viewing the 13 part series _what on earth happened_ in my about to learn how the earth is not a globe

Thank we use a transponder and we have contact with the control tower non stop and a whole team is monitoring the manned flights in this area. We arent allowed to do this on days the airforce practice because they fly incognito we dont want to risk any lives. Those flights are planned and licensed as any other manned flights. We are doing many unmanned aircraft flights, experiments and development. I dont share any results or details to protect my company and to prevent others to this in an uncontrolled manner. We have some more safety features i dont want to share. Many thanks i love to do this but theres nothing better than flying in person.

Dude! My thoughts at the farthest point out were to push it to 100km because the wind conditions were great. Can you imagine?

@@itsnotme1295 I mean the fact you got it back is a small miracle by itself 😆

@@matejbludsky8410 yep 🤞😁

You didnt read the description did you? Because of people like you the hobby is screwed
