I was surveying a forest of blown down trees for work as a favour. The first FPV flight went well. Second battery and on the return home she fell out of the sky , I put full throttle on and she kept dropping till I lost signal. We looked where my spotter saw it fall but the ground was impossible to search:(

Bummer dude, do you have any hope of eventually finding it or is it gone for good?

Don't know what happened. The harvest manager has offered £60 to the contractor cutting the trees if he finds it.

Yes Lee. Beeper and lights. But if you saw the ground. Impossible to walk. It's known as blown in the trade which means it was all blown down in a hurricane. So you can imagine what a 90% blown forest on a 75 degree slope looks like.
