I backed mine into a huge tree using an FPV tablet. As they said in class, take your hands off the controls and let it hover while you figure out your next move. I my case, I needed a combination of FPV for video and line of sight for surrounding obstacles.
Like yours I distorted the shell. It hit hard enough to bend an arm at the motor and the prop hit the fuselage. I took off the upper shell, with a combination of small Torx drives and bent the arm back into shape. I too heard a rattle inside and a small plastic mount near the battery had broken off. I was able to use a tiny metal screw to fix it.
When straightened, it flew perfect. There was no actual damage, but since I had effectively voided my warranty, I went ahead and painted it. New shells are not available for purchase yet.
Good luck! |
