Glad that you recovered the VTOL! I have been thinking of going out there and attempting to fly FPV at the base of the Gorge but my confidence meter is broken at the moment...
I also have a ZMO VTOL. My range is terrible. Quick question do you get the "unlocked" message in the OSD when you start the motors and lift off as you would expect from dji/caddx air units? I'm not getting this message and I think my power is being limited to 25 mW despite what is selected. I haven't tried disabling auto temp control which I heard is a work around.
That's a great question. If you don't get the unlocked message on a quad, the unit does stay in low power mode, which could be the problem. Maybe try disabling the temp control to see if that helps. But then you should try to get in the air quickly!
Does anyone know if this ZMO VTOL has a new model out? I just saw an add for the "OMPHOBBY ZMO Z3 VTOL FPV". As you see this is listed as the Z3. When I bought one in January it did not have the Z3 in the title. Has something been updated or changed? Anyone know?
@@readysetdrone What was the repair and replacement costs? Since it's mainly foam, hopefully replacing a wing or vertical stabilizer isn't too expensive. If so, I may pass on getting one even though I really want one. Cheers!
For sure Chris was the hero in this one!! Did he get the pretty girl in the end? Ok how about a steak dinner? I'm glad you were able to get it back! Thanks for sharing, have a great week and God bless.
Lol, Mason! It was a team effort. I wouldn't have been able to get up the tree without Kelly giving me a boost. Flying with friends is fun! #DontFlyAlone 🌞👊
Maybe both! 😉 I was actually referring to clasping my hands and giving Kris a foothold to step on as a boost into the tree. I'm glad you found it humorous. 😄
Cool plane, but when you were losing signal it didn't look like you were very far away. Glad they sent you two, but the real question is why? 1) Do they not trust their product 2) We are sending it to Kelly and he is going to put it through the wringer...LOL. Kris is a heck of a cat...great video nonetheless.
Hey Gary. Great question. They sent me two by accident, it seems... Perhaps miscommunication with the employees. I was contacted by them on two occasions, by email, just a few days apart. I thought they didn't get my first reply, so I replied again. I'm glad I ended up with two in the end! 😂😸
I got a reply on my comment from a scam-afflicted area code in NC telling me I had won something, then the message was deleted 10 minutes later. I do have the whole number written down, btw.
Ha ha thanks, Jace. The air unit got disconnected during the crash, so Kelly couldn't turn off the motors from his RC. Then they decided to turn off finally when the plane hit the ground. Lol
Butterflys come at purchase 4 free 2Grand- I am so sorry dude-- I guess u r rich!-- ok -- u got them for free-- well I guess we folks are not as lucky!
Glad you had two of them Kelly.
Kris saved the day. You Da Man.

I'll give you a confidence meter sticker, Rob. 😜 Lol
@@SunriseWaterMedia LOL, I will need more than one!!!!
@@RobTalariaKilleenTx 🤣👍
Great Video. Glad you recovered it.
“I don’t want to hurt you “
Kris is so nice.
did I miss it or was it not mentioned if and how you fixed the damaged one ?
At 3:24 I reveal the secret. 😉 I had two. The crashed VTOL was pretty much totaled.
Great sharing! Chris the man!
Been there, done that same thing several times
In the place they designated for legal flying here we just have to deal with prairie dog holes. Lots of prairie dog holes.

"If you fly drones, you're going to crash sometimes." Cheers!
Haha true!

Awesome 👏🏼# never fly without a tree climber. ✔️ Good stuff friend👍🏼
You got that right!
"I've done this hundreds of times?" What, climbing trees or crashing in them? Just found that humerous. All good though.
Maybe both! 😉 I was actually referring to clasping my hands and giving Kris a foothold to step on as a boost into the tree.
I'm glad you found it humorous. 😄
@@readysetdrone He wasn't the only one...LOL!
Other videos say the ZMO only has about 500m range, is that right?
That seems about right. When I lost video during the crash, I was probably closer to 80 meters away though.

OMG WING IN TOP OF TREE! SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER VIDEO
Oh Dear ! It happens, I’m a wimp and would of cried lol but it’s good that you have another 1 , thanks & Regards
Thanks for watching, Steve. 👊
Great job Kris
Thanks, Chris. 👊 Couldn't have done it without Kelly!
Hi guys do this vtol need license like the drone do?
👍 It's an sUAS (small unmanned aircraft system), so I assumed that all the rules that apply to drones also apply here.
Hello lads what is the price for one of them amazing flying pity that it hit the tree glad you got it back down bud 👍👏👊
You can find pricing info here www.omphobby.com/OMPHOBBY-ZMO-VTOL-FPV-Aircraft-With-DJI-Goggles-And-Remote-Controller-p3069854.html
@@readysetdrone nice one i will check it out now thanks my friend's 👍
Kris to the rescue
🤘 It was quite an adventurous day!

I deleted that spammer. TH-cam is filled with these bots. I remove them as soon as I can, to avoid anyone getting scammed.
Thanks for letting me know.
Hooray Kris for saving the day. I can't believe it was still running up there was that on purpose?
Ha ha thanks, Jace. The air unit got disconnected during the crash, so Kelly couldn't turn off the motors from his RC. Then they decided to turn off finally when the plane hit the ground. Lol
It was quite dramatic...but those make the best stories.
Oh nooooo!
Lol Hugh. Exactly the right response!
You didn’t destroy it you have yourself an opportunity to go get something else. Lol. Way to shinny up the tree Kris
I can rebuild that Kelly and I would be happy to fix it. ,or purchase the parts from you.
I gave it to Kai
Look at the monkey climb, lol, I climbed trees when I was a kid, I guess you're still a kid Kris
You can't make me grow up, Jeff! 😉
@@SunriseWaterMedia I can't grow up myself
Hello my friend just to let you know that I got a scammer message from your channel with a phone number bud yippy 🤔👊
Thanks, David. TH-cam is overrun with these spam bots! I hope no one falls for their schemes.
