I found my FunJet but..

[Bjorn]

I found my FunJet but a tractor with a harvester found it first...

I lost my funjet i a field of high grass about a month ago, it was not very far away, just 100-200meters but I spent hours looking for it with no luck..
it was harder than usual because my funjet died in mid air and it dident respond when I tried to use my transmitter to make servo sounds or motor on/off as guiding.

yesterday when I went out to fly my new plane, I saw that the grass on the field was cut, so I went to have a look to see if there was anything left.


this is what I found, very small peices of my Funjet, right in the aeria where I had been looking.
I collected everything I could find and brought it home.


My daughter helped me with the crash investegation when I got home.
I dident recover everything, most of the things where in small pieces, and some of the equipment where totally lost.
the only two things that survived was one servo that was almost unharmed and more amazingly, my trusty old RCV922 camera actually still works ( but might need a new lens )!

Hi Björn!

Shocking pictures
My condolences! Do you want to buy another Funjet for FPV use?

[Bjorn]

Thanks!
I really liked the Funjet, It's a really fun FPV platform and I would like to have a new one as soon as I can afford one!

This is nothing but impressive.
When you know how much beating the multiplex foam can take...

I dont know if I shall laugh or cry ..

Thanks for the tip,
I have a similar one from GWS in my new plane!

Right, I am going to install such a beeper in my FPV planes, too

Unlucky, I think I'm also going to get one of those cheap alarms after seeing this.

I had to order for a lot of money so i searched all the BevRC website for things what come in handy.
Also the aircraft alarm.
They put only for $50 on the box and i had to pay 26 euro custums.
Total in the box was $230
Still a good bargain. Or not?
