Well yeah, if your gonna crash it should be on your first flight right? This was my first build, wouldnt have crashed if I couldve seen where I was going. I had FPV goggles that while I was flying towards myself, I slowly lost video to static, ripped off my goggles and put my glasses on and could hear it flying around. There are allot of large pines around my house. tried to figure out which direction and attitude it was facing but it just faded and faded, so I throttle up, hear it wind, but that soon faded too. after what seemed like a few minutes of this struggle. I couldnt hear it anymore and my transmitter started beeping like it lost contact. All I have now are the instruction booklets. It was a Mamba stack with a Rush tank 2 ultimate vtx. Any ideas why i would have lost video like that, i was flying towards myself when it happened with line of site elevation. no more than 150 yards away. Excuse the typos, Im still wiping away tears.
Crashed today, first build

Did you not install Return to Home (RTH) function? Any new drone should have RTH function.

This was my first thought.
air flow is important to keep them cool, and higher power settings mean more heat
