TBS DISCOVERY :)

[Graham Lawrie]

Third flight today with FPV:) Lost signal so started flying los. 2 minutes into the flight and it fell out of the sky . The battery was flat. Binned the battery as it was soft and bendy. Scratched my Olfi on the led display. Lesson learnt. Bigger battery and always fly with protective case. Will post a video tomorrow TBS landed upside down no damage

This is the video before the crash:) I had it hover in front of me and with hands free off the TX i push the TBS Disco out of position and it stays in the same place:) way cool:)

Had the TBS do a gentle flip over at start up, one prop tip smashed was the only damage.

Props off for bench test, and one motor spluttering:( Swapped motor to another position and fault followed, so motor was the issue. Then went to unplug the good motor to return it to original position and banana plug on good motor came off in my hand!!
I then checked the original spluttering motor and it was the same, banana plug came off in my hand:(

The joy of second hand products:) I tested these prior to fitting:)
How can you check for dry, factory shrink wrapped joints??

You plan on getting the tbs tin shield for it I had it on my old disco supposed to help with video signal interference or sumthin like that
