Hi everyone! So today I crashed my drone into a massive tree in sports mode. I lost the battery but the drone was still thankfully in one piece. However, there is a crack on the arm (pic attached) - do you think it's safe to fly? Or should I send it to be repaired? Thanks for taking the time to read this

Here is the damage

Please turn it in for service and do not fly it that way.
Even if you do not have Care Refresh, still rather inexpensive to repair.

Ummmmmmm, yeah, NO!  LOL

Look at it like this. If that was an airplane you were about to get on and you saw a giant crack in the wing would you stay on that plane?  HaHa

Hey Justin, I agree with you, its Common Sense not to Fly with a Broken Rotor Arm.

But........ ! Look at this !



Maybe Gary Monk has this type of Skill ! Hihihihihihihi !

do yourself and those around you a huge favor.  Send it in for repair as it's safer than being sorry.  

i have a similar experience and i used super glue from Loctite brand to fix. Last 8 months i have been flying safe .

I've just taken it for a test fly in an empty field today and it still works absolutely fine. I only use this drone recreationally and don't fly it over where lots of people are so I'm tempted to buy some professional superglue and stick it together

OMG, THAT WAS INSANE!   Ok that guy I’d fly with anytime, totally wasn’t expecting him to land that plane.

Good day. I am sorry that your Spark crashed. Let me help you with this. Always put into mind safety first. The best thing we can do is for you to send the Spark in for repair so that we can check the entire drone. We can check not only the external parts we can also check the internal parts as well to avoid long-term damage to the Spark. Thank you.

God was with him all the time, Buddy !

Incredible Skills even at that Moment of Panic ! There was his Life at Risk ! And still he managed to make an Incredible Stunt out of it ! He comes out Relaxed too ! My My !!!

Easy to fix it! Just a little tape...

See my thread on fixing that....just use a 40 watt soldering iron.. And plasticweld it.. Superglue, well only glues it together, my method makes it melt back and still gets the flex of plastic...
DO NOT FLY IT LIKE THAT.. I see it is your front left arm..if that breaks in to the drone body, it will break the camera/gimbal wires, and you are in for a treat of teardown and reasembly... Plasticweld, takes 2 minuttes and you are ready to go... I have flown 2-3 hours with mine after dix, even had some crashes,,no problems or sign og wear
