Hello People

[gort]

just bought my second quadcopter, a Syma X5UW, my first one (same as the second) which I only had for 2 hours,
flew into the sunset never to be seen again :-(

Welcome to the forum gort. Your quad didn't just fly off for no reason, it went hunting wabbits

I thought they were supposed to bring em back to it's owner

Only if you've got a return-to-home switch set up on your controller

it was so high up I couldn't tell if it was coming or going, or which way it was facing :-(

Welcome to the forum! I think everyone has a flyaway in the early days.

 

[gort]

forgot to mention, a farmer found it in his field 9 days later, nearly ran over it with his quad bike ,
I think the cow's had been at it, ....but it seems OK and still works

Did it bring you back that wabbit?

Did it bring you back that wabbit?
