Testing new FPV aerials on The Walksnail GogglesX and comparing it to the stock setup on the GogglesX a certain feature unknowingly activated in INAV 7 has resulted in the loss of the FX-61. This was the first FPV plane i built using INAV and one of my all time favorites.
Now its time for a new build!

Sucks you lost your FX-61 to an inaccessible location. Such a nice bird. Did so many things right, just one tiny mistake. 😕 A mishap with RTH is more common than some people will admit. RTH can be tricky, as with every selection there are pitfalls that could lead to a possible issue. It's an area of config that should be checked based on flying location and type of flying intend to do. Similarity, not selecting correct config profile based on battery type (or size) can also result in less than ideal flight. Great tip on getting GPS lock. I recently picked up a FX-84, the FX-61's smaller sibling.

@@AerialWaviator I think I will build another one eventually like I said that bird was my first real iNav build and has many battle scars over the years. I was actually thinking of rebuilding it with a new body a few weeks ago. At least if I get another I know it will perform flawless from the maiden as I will always have the setup and configuration I used. I totally agree every flight your RTH and failsafe settings should be checked as per location flying. The smaller fx-84 plane is also a great bird!

Really sorry you lost this plane. We all been there. Part of the game. A lot of speculation in regard to what actually happened. When you first built it did you ever test RTH and observe the behavior of the aircraft all the way back to your takeoff location? Also after every launch you should check RTH prior to flying.

@stonesrcchannel 20 дней назад

@@IanF-FPV yeah rth worked flawlessly it was the fact I had linear decent active and because of that RTH was on a gradual decent back home with the hill in between. It is a function in iNav I usually have turned off but in this case it was on.

Hate when that happens. I've lost 2 drones that I built. It's okay to cry since you're by yourself. Just don't let your kids see you.

@@mvs7779 My kids did see me cry 😢 but at the same time my wife seen the lightbulbs of wonder flashing around my head as I was thinking of my next build.

@Caroline_Tyler 21 день назад

Bad luck on losing the wing, I have one of those, they fly so well too. I have the Use Linear Decent option but the option underneath I set to 500 m just because I feared such a situation. You might also want to use the backtrack option for 500m so the plane will attempt to follow the route that took it out of LOS and hopefully you would have recovered video.

@stonesrcchannel 21 день назад

@@Caroline_Tyler yeah I also use the backtrack 500m on all planes with linear decent switched off. This plane for some reason I missed that it was different from the others. Bad mistake on my behalf. Anyway time for a new build!! 🥳

RIP FX61 , should definitely get a new one, have you looked at the ZOHD Altus?

@stonesrcchannel 7 дней назад

@@VENMGameZ I think I will get another one eventually although they are becoming harder to find now. I have thought about the Altus and swordfish as a replacement but I'm kind of considering something even bigger than the fx61. I'm thinking of trying a ranger 2000 or 2400
