Woke up early to do a little flying before work, and bit off more than I could chew!

I changed too many variables this flight: I set up my transmitter with toggle-able expo controls, tried flying by gripping the sticks instead of with my thumbs, AND turned on the timer option. About 1:30 in to the flight, the transmitter started emitting a constant loud beep. It caused me to lose focus and I completely panicked. Never even thought to cut the throttle!

The GoPro was flung from the crash site, and I was unable to find it before I had to head in to work. It recorded about an hour of grass. After work I headed back out to the field and after another 20 minutes of searching, I found it!

Aircraft: J-Power Sky Surfer
Transmitter: Turnigy 9x v2, stock firmware
