she's in about 200 different pieces after being thoroughly cleaned down with alcohol spray and a paint brush and resting in 4 bags of rice for the next few days

That camera is going to be a challenge. I am guessing a new one would be in order.

While you are fiddling around in those quad guts, would you see if you can find that very loud little speaker?

That bieping sound is from the motors.

Hard to tell. I really don't expect everything to be OK one or two things are going to have to fixed but I'm encouraged because I was el

Haha nice one mate. I'm going to put it back together tomorrow and try fire her up and we'll keep the fingers crossed. If you are coming back over this way definitely give me a shout. Tell the missus she has a good taste for voices

Good Night Irene.....

Super nice video Mal. I made you a amateur pic in hopes to cheer you up....

Btw, even if the aircraft doesn't fly again, at least you got it back for sentimental purposes. And if that is the case, I would hang it from my ceiling with fishing line as if it were flying in the room. Good Luck!

What is the drink of choice during the surgery doc?

Ah sure if she doesn't fly I'll send her to dji for fixing. Still cheaper than buying a new one

Strong Polish beer

If you love it set it free. If it doesn't come back find it and smash it to smithereens.

For everyone that loves to give out here's about another ten things I shouldn't be doing with a drone but it's just a normal days flying for me. It's from a meet up of other Irish lads a few weeks ago.
Warning the video is cheesy

That's me in the blue t-shirt in the opening shot trying to (a) grab the now defunct Phantom (b) Whack Mal(function) on the back of the head or (c) try out my new springy shoes. Answers on a postcard please...

 

[happydays]

If only I knew how to start a poll on here. I would LOVE to know just how many on here really do believe this story. For that matter who believes anything that ..... Ah, never mind !!

But I would love to know if ANYONE actually believes all this malarkey.

Wilfros, the last time I saw Mal flying he was out over a lake, no FPV, 3.3k away (about two miles) with about 35% battery left. He got FPV back again on 22% with 2k still to go. It started to autoland at 10%. We finally got sight of it heading in the wrong direction to another island near where we were and he still landed in on a helipad in front of a hotel with a big crowd watching. My balls were in my stomach. He was calmly smoking a *** and saying in a strong Dublin twang - "sure what if I lose it? It's paid for already?" The man is a leg end. Believe it.
