    A different kind of crash

    Thanks for all the ideas. To recap, the flight was uneventful and in a familiar location. The crash sequence is what was puzzling. First i lost video and telemetry. I was in a sticks neutral hover, clear line of sight, about 200 ft away. The craft hovered for several seconds --long enough...
