With my latest addition- DBS mods, I decided to get greedy and fly with 15 MPH gusts of wind. Everything was fine until the return to home. Once the battery got down to 30 %, the phantom was over 1000 ft away, and kept drifting sideways. Realizing that it wasn't going to make it home, I sprinted closer to where the phantom was. I was within 100 yards of it, and it was 10 ft above the water and about 10 feet away from land. I was able to make a safe landing with maybe 1 ft to spare. ****, I am lucky. For some reason the video stopped recording, and I'm pissed about that.
The problem with the wind was that it was purely random, coming from all directions. The only other time, I almost lost the phantom was in a similar scenari- gusts of wind coming randomly from all directions.
With everything being said. My heart is still pumping from the adrenaline, and this DBS mod is awesome!
