One of my Draganflyer helicopters has fallen and can't get up:

Death of a Draganflyer

Here's a picture of the crumpled mess:

Actually, I don't think you can blame my flying. You can hear the motors drop once and then a second time just before it starts to go into freefall. I've seen this happen a few times before but it had always been for less than one second and then recovered.

The only good news here is that my homemade custom camera mount protected the video camera. It survived without a scratch.
