WHY YOU SHOULD SET UP FAILSAFE (painful to watch)

The day I realized failsafe is actually important. I was sitting on the beach and freestyling with my quad above the ocean until it was time to fly back to me. Once I was above the beach, I had two choices: fly left or right. Sadly, since I could not see myself on the camera, I had to randomly pick a direction. Obviously, I ended up flying the wrong way until my quad went out of range and crashed :) It took me a while to find its burial site in the sand. Conclusion: pay close attention to where you are when you're flying in an area where it's easy to lose your bearings and set up failsafe! If I had a failsafe configured, the motors would have stopped spinning and I might have been able to recover them, but now as you imagine they are dead.
