Hi guys

Yesterday went flying with my buddy and it was such a awesome day to fly so a few lipos down the line he went off flying his DJI Naza F550 aireal photography heli and was doing his thing then i took off and did my thing and as we both were coming into land boom

we caught it on camera which i think this is the first its ever been caught on camera with two different types of helis

Wow.... was that deliberate? Surely you could both see what was happening?!? Or did it look like you had enough clearance to pass each other?!?

Never in a million years i would want to destroy my dear ol 450x he was flying with FPV (things may seem closer then they appear) so as i am still doing my hovering i stay in my set box i really thought he was higher then me and he thought i was far enough from him which even the seconds from crash i thought he is just recording me like he always does and boom lol

Mid air collision crash

so who gets the repair bill

We both pay our own way... I have most of spares on hand so I'm all good just the beast antenna cable chopped off and sliced the servo cable from the ESC 0_o I gave Horrizon hobby a call today and so amazed that the guy just said send us a covering letter of everything and post it and we shall get you sorted (not repairing the whole heli just the beast and ESC)

Ha! - I reckon the plan was for a dramatic fly-past on vid. Look at the angle of the 450x in the frame below - it looks like it's being aimed upwards towards the side of the quad. I guess the rotors got tangled ...

EDIT : Just seen your explanation - I've never done FPV but I guess it's easy to get confused with only a 2D view of the world...

That 450 was just like a very slow ground to air missile or should I say" Hittile" ?. Good vid too.
