Please help me locate this AC

[amstar]

I was testing a new pair CF props for the MA. I took off in Atti mode. It was quite breezy and I'm not quite sure whether it was a stick input from me but the AC careened off at quite a speed to the right of me for some yards and then backwards. Adjacent is another plot which is also our building, beyond that is open space. There is thick undergowth in patches. The AC finally fell down and at its resting place the i could see a leaf in the red glow. Below is the flight record from the iPhone:
Could you (sar) kindly on point out on google maps where the **** thing is because the undergrowth is like prickly thorns or something and it rains often.
Thanks so much.

Are you sure that's the right log file? That describes a flight at 1732 on June 22 that returned to the take off point.

 

[amstar]

I'm sorry sar. Try this one. The data amount was so short, I wasn't sure.

 

[sar104]

Okay - it was in ATTI mode due to poor GPS reception. As a result the txt log doesn't contain any positional data. You will need to get the mobile device DAT file (FLY064.DAT) instead:

OK, here's the DAT file. Hopefully, this will get something. Thanks for all the help, sar.

It looks like it crashed on the road, lay there for 24 minutes, and then was hit by something. If that position is accurate then it may have been run over. The apparent movement during that 24 minutes is spurious - it was completely stationary.

bummer

Oh geez!
This hit totally out of the blue!
Thanks sar!!

Did it fly over the other house or how is the track going twice over it?

That's the spurious movement that I mentioned - it's not real. The actual track ends where I marked the crash site. The rest of the track data just result from variable GPS reception.

Thanks!

Sar,
I have like a conspiracy theory so may be this unfortunate crash which is very unlike my flying style, may help.
Do the stick inputs correlate with ac movement? Do you have that kind of data o’ quad-wizard?

The pitch and roll correlate properly with elevator and aileron. No conspiracy required.






The aircraft was in ATTI mode because it had too few satellites locked:

I feel bad about your lost.....Just curious, why did you take off in the state of ATTI Mode?

I was testing a new pair of racing props and I always do that on atti mode. I guess these props were a bit too much. The FP on them was 56deg! It was quiet breezy too.
