Unsuccessful Line Of Events

As most of you probably know, atleast the ones of you that’s innto FPV, and especially freestyle maybe, every day you head out to fly, is NOT a great succesess, with alot of cool shots to bring back home and share with everyone.
Today, I had such a day again.
We had great weather today, tho’ way too cold. By cold I mean -20’c. But the sunshine, fresh snow everywhere , golden light and all made the world look supernice. so I packed up and went out to fly!
The plan today was to get down some freestyle packs, then head out on a cinematic longrange-ish flight with the Chimera 7 Pro later. So here we start..
I was about 30 sec innto my warm up run, bom-bam-bing-crash innto a ceiling, and got somewhat stuck on a beam up there (up there is about 8m off the ground maybe), and by the time I mannage to turtle it loose, it falls down and slams on some chain rails and down to the tarmac. Rip battery, rip antenna mouns, rip motor.. aand ofc the gopro got slammed, so corrupt video file, aka NO video.
so over to second pack, second drone and second pack… memory card issues…. so after changing all cards and BS I get down half a pack, slams innto ground backwars, and breaks another antenna mount (fragile TPU in the cold).
Eventually getting down a few packs, before heading out for a Cinematic flight.
And hold and behold, after climbing up a nice sport for signals, the flight was actually nice, exept I wanted to have stick cam for you, so I was freezing my fingers off (-20 remember) to the almost painfull point. but I got in some lines I think was nice, some cool nature shots and hill dives, frozen river surf etc! And I think it would make some great clips to show you —- IF—— I had pushed record on th e GoPro…. ohh yes, I forgot to record the whole flight.

So as I said, not all days are a succsess, in terms of what you set out to do. But I still got to fly some pacs and are content with that.. Even tho now I need to spend money on new parts (again) .
Ramble done, for now :)
