Default RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

I have to share this with you guys, Ti has saved my ***** tonight!

That's right, I'm now a thermal intelligence believer. While I was praticing forward flight manouvers at the park, I got disoriented with where the DF was facing (the DF was just too far away). I had set Ti (as per instructions) this morning just in case I ever turned it on through the remote switch and I'm glad I turned it on when I saw the DF side slipping and heading for the ground. Ti was quick to level out the DF, man was that ever cool. All I needed to do then was to throttle back and land safely without harm.

I then flew again (with Ti turned off) and while banking hard a blade hit an arm and half of it flew off. So here it goes again but spiralling this time. Turned Ti with a flick of the switch and it did its thing again, levelled without a problem even with half a blade on one rotor.

Geez, I have to admit that this is truly an amazing feature. I wouldn't always fly with it on but now I feel much more confident knowing that the "switch" can bail me out.

Thought I'd share this experience, it really does work ;P
