Had to make an emergency landing with my fpv twinstar because it lost a propeller. While I was searching for it, 2 girls found the plane, and their conversation was recorded by the still operational HD camera. I was quite amazed by their technical insight and conclusions !

Are you using Counter Rotating Props?
If so was it the one turning in reverse that came off?

I am building a Twinstar for FpV also and wonder about the props.

I think the prop came off because of the long glide.  My guess is that it was driven by the wind and unscrewed itself that way.

Status: offline 		Isn't that what the object of this FPV stuff is..? To overfly as many school yards full of kids, freeways full of cars and residential neighborhoods as possible..?
If something goes wrong...so what...? That's not YOUR problem, your "job" is to satisfy your immediate needs for fun, regardless. Right...?
