Recovery from ice

[MassDrone]

It's winter in New England, but not cold enough to freeze the ice solidly. Here's a little video of my Phantom 1 getting stuck on thin ice and its recovery.

I'm a newbie here, so if I've offended by posting this on two different sections, my apologies.

Lucky the ice held out- lesson for all of us

Indeed it was lucky. 24 hours later the ice had melted another 30-40 feet into the pond. Had I not retrieved my Phantom the day it landed, it would be sleeping with the fishes now!

Boys and their toys. Correction old men and their toys.

Winter isn't thru yet. I'd invest in a 2nd life preserver.

Wow, video was cool to watch, I'm glad you had a successful rescue. And LOL at Dave's comment for 2nd life preserver!
