Well, it was a dodgy ESC after all. The mishap was due to a sudden loss of video signal when I went behind a tree. Think I'll fit my 600mw Fatshark on it.

Being very new to fixed wings, I didn't know that the wind affected it like it did today. It was only when I got home and studied the video footage that I realised. Quads don't seem to suffer in windy conditions!
Lesson learnt - don't try to fly in windy conditions!

If you want to be ahead of the times and see where the build progress is (quite a bit further than you see here) join me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/vortecks
All my Patreon videos are uncut, a lot longer and I go into far more detail and I do live streams when I'm not lying flat on the floor in agony. Also, if you help me, I'll help you if you need it.
Please note: This thing is far from finished. I'm not simply putting a giant motor on the back and taking it out, this is a Tony build, I have a lot planned for it and I should have it ready for the Spring/Summer.
Any problems that are shown in these videos have long been sorted. You're watching things that were done over a month ago on YT.

I always buy the Naze32 full version in case I ever want to use the magnetometer. Up to yet, the only thing I've used the mag on, is the TBS. Anyway, I've never been able to calibrate one successfully and last night, the penny dropped..... it's because I always mount the beeper next to the Naze :)

This is the journey home after I broke the car. What I didn't mention was that I actually jump-started the car with a lipo battery..... I forgot I have loads of batteries here :-)

I think I'm one of the most indecisive people I know. I wasn't happy with the OSD because the MinimOSD isn't too good at updating the speed quickly. I thought I'd try something new and fitted a Telefly Pro. The only trouble with that, is there's no stabilisation so I took it out and I'm now in the process of shoe-horning a MTD MFD into it :-)
