Drones Fly Faster Backwards on Takeoff
« on: January 21, 2008, 04:17:16 PM »
Last night, I upped a formation of Ki67s and heard explosion as I was taking off (auto pilot) no enemies in bound.  Checked my external view and 1 drone was missing.  So, I ditched and tried again.  This time I watched, to my amusement, when the trailing drone quickly backed away, lifted like a jet and got far enough away to explode.:rofl

I did it several times to see if anyone else was seeing the same or was it my computer playing tricks on me (plus it looked so darn funny:lol ).  Information about base is on my other computer, if you need it, I will make a note and post again.  

I am just posting here, in case the good folks at HTC weren't aware of this yet.  I must admit, it was more funny than anything else.  Zooscrew finally walked over (chute) and inspected my props :lol   Maybe last drone pilot had it in reverse:p
