my quads final flight

by Adriaan | November 30, 2014 | (0) Posted in Just Fun

I wrote an article here a few weeks back and had a great response from the views so I decided to write another, this was the footage I got the morning before I lost my quad just practising some low fast passes up and down the road and one unfortunate mishap. 

Thought this was a beautiful picture of the quad's shadow as it speeds down the road.

 

The photos don’t really do the video justice and when u watching this through a pair of goggles with a fuzzy picture it’s even more nerve wrecking.

 

A view down the street i was racing up and down.

 

 

This was all a lot of fun but when your fly so low over the ground at that speed it’s just a matter of time until you come short, fortunately my camera survived and I salvaged the footage.

 

At this point it was too late to recover.

 

 

 

 

Then finally it came to a rest, fortunately I only had to dust it off and she was ready to fly once more.

I was wondering if you lived in South Africa too when I saw all of the water in your street, and I see I guessed right, lol:)

Ya thats south africa but to be fair it is a very low lieing area and during high tide that place is about 1m (3feet) above the water so drainage will always be a problem but it made for some exciting flying!

Besides the props nothing else looked to be damaged but later that day i was flying over the river and something went wrong and it fell into the river, spent a few hours looking for it but couldn't find a thing. The footage would have been spectacular to say the least
