Never let your inexperienced friends try your FPV
Today me and my friends went to have a barbecue, so i brought my Air75 to have some fun. After a dozen flights one of my friends asked to try fly my drone.
I warned him many times that it’s not like a DJI drone and it’s much harder, but he insisted, so i told him that i’ll let him fly if he agrees to repay me for any damage. He agreed, thinking it was not that hard.
So i explained him the controls, and warned him many times that the throttle is very sensitive, and doesn’t return centered by itself. I also put it in angle mode obviously.
Literally, a couple seconds after arming the drone, he went full throttle and in a few seconds my drone was probably in the stratosphere, there was also some wind so who knows where it went. As soon as he lost control i tried to take over but it was too late, lost both VX and RX signal.
TLDR: the drone is completely lost and now he owes me 100 bucks, Maybe he learned his lessons. I don’t really care as long as i don’t have to pay, the only thing is that i’m going to loose a couple weeks of flying
