It finally happened after a month of ownership, I relaxed a little and crashed my FreeX. In retrospect I should have known better then to attempt the flight but the temptation of a great location far from people and a clear view of the fireworks on the 4th proved to be to much. I lifted off and reached an elevation of around 50 meters when the drone started to act funny and became unresponsive.
My flight location was just outside of Bodule Wisconsin on a hill in farm country. The smaller fireworks show put on by a little town in Wisconsin is accompanied with the piece and quiet of enjoying the show without anyone else around aside from the people you invite. It was a great trade off, a little less boom and a lot less blah from the thousands of people crammed into downtown Green Bay.
After the crash I tried to balance my props and clean them up so I could take a short test flight and assess any other damage that may have occurred. The video shows the angle of the gimbal and the need to fix it. Once I remove the gimbal and repair the anodized aluminum I plan to install some Moon Gel to test the theory that it will dampen any motor vibration and reduce jello wobble.
