  • Lost my plane

    Im new to flying. I was outside of a school flying a skynet pitts mini. I did great on takeoff had it up and the plane stopped responding to my controls. Did I fly it out of range? Or did something block my signal? Now i lost my plane. Sad day

    It could have gone out of range, how far away did it go? Did you have it in view, not behind trees or buildings? It also could have gotten so slow that you didn't have air flow over the surfaces and then you lose control. It's 2.4GHz and there are a few things that could interfere with it like WiFi/ broad band. Your battery could have gotten low, you only have a few minutes of flying and it's easy to lose track of how long you have been flying. The battery might not have been fully charged or you may have been "testing" before flying and used part of the battery's charge. How far away was it that you lost it?
