Saturday Sept 15th, about 10;45, lost sight of my Timber and it went down, approx. 200m to NE of pilot area. Search for 1 hour revealed nothing, it may have dived into cornfield. Possible battery issue.
If anyone receives any information on it, please let me know. Cry

Sounds like a job (challenge) for a good drone operator...!

We have several drone operators in the HEFA group at Shannon park....not sure about the Avon Club. Maybe this thread will bring forth a valley drone member.

Alleluia, the Timber is found! Don MacPhee passed by the field today (Dec 16) and found it on one of the tables. Apparently found by a farmer and left there, not known when. Don says some minor damage, he will check it out, then call me to collect. Thanks Don.  Smiley Smiley Smiley

Don got the Timber back to me around Christmastime. Thanks for repairing the flap Don. Smiley  Did some extensive cleaning and checked out the motor and servos. Some adjustments required. Also some minor cosmetic damage that I will leave. All seems in order now, so will wait for the fair weather to arrive before taking it to the field.
