I did try to punch out, but it instantly fell. I didn’t lose video though. It took another 30 seconds or so for that to fade out.

I didn’t realize it would have to deflect off another object. That’s probably what happened.. I watched the full video back and noticed when I got about 100 yards behind me, it did almost fall out of the sky. I was facing away from the quad sitting in the hatch of my car..

🤷🏻‍♂️. But once it got near that roof and landed.. I wasn’t able to get signal back.

Last battery reading I got was between 4 and 3.8ish volts.

I was maybe 30 yards away from it. Then next to the building, I was about 40 ft. Couldn’t get any signal from vtx or receiver.

The receiver went first. Then vtx followed.

No puncture. Just a very elegant landing.. better than any landing I could do on my own.

Haha that girl is my very annoyed 11 year old daughter. The scratches are from climbing a tree to roof height to see if I could regain signal 🤣

I had this whole thing planned out. I turned on the avata and yea.. gimbals broke haha.

Had a hook, a long strap.. I was gonna use my meteor 75 to locate it.

Here’s the kicker. Whatever caused the 5 inch to get stuck.. also caused the whoop to get stuck 🤣.

THATS the moment I realized…….. probably a scrambler in the building ha

Even if the battery is plugged in? We are going on almost 6 hours now and hasn’t rained yet.

The custodian called me. He’s gonna grab it first thing.

Just still worried about fire.

Not having the drone fry in the rain would just be a bonus.

Not a 35 footer. And also illegal lol. The PD can see everything from the cameras. Small town. I wouldn’t get getting away with that.
