Good evening,
During my last flight I have pushed the X5 wing to it's limits
, the wing had around 1,15kg and it was doing a survey flightplan.
After the survey (around 15minutes of flight /16km total path lenght in autopilot mode) was finished I was trying to bring the wing to the ground but due to the wind/no more battery left/ wing stall I had a very nice crash.
On the area where I am flying it is very tall grass and the the surface is not flat so to search on the area will not give some good results so the flight log saved into the groundstation/laptop helped me to find the crash site.
I have opened the Gluon Groundstation and replay the flight, paused at the end and go directly to the wing location, it was a relief to see it
, minor damages to the wing , the only thing that suffer is the XBEE antenna that starts to broke:
As usual the list of questions/observations:
- If the Xbee antenna wire will broke completely what could go wrong besides the telemetry range ?
- Is there any type of replacement wire for antenna?
- as I said before I had a lot of chance to be able to reply the flightplan( I had more juice in the laptop battery), in a bad situation if also the laptop battery is almost finished it is very difficult to replay all the flight (even if you are using 16x you can skip the right timeframe) so my proposal is to see if is possible to implement on the Replay Control window a slidebar to go manually forward and backward:
Thank you for advices,
Alex
