I crashed and a propeller screw broke instead of propeller, se attached images.
Is it possible to remove the broken screw or do I have to replace the entire arm?
I am suprised that the propeller did not broke instead.


Suggestions?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
It was not a serious crash, just hitting a wall with the propeller and it fell down 20 cm.
But I am suprised that the screw broke and not the propeller - Now I have to replace the entire arm, with extra costs and a lot of time that I will not be able to fly.

It is not an option returning the drone - only if you send me a replacement first.

The issue is how to remove the broken screw or get a replacement arm asap.

It must be a production- or design flaw when the weakest part is the screw and not the propeller.

Can return the arm when I have got a replacement arm.

It is not an option returning the entire drone and be without it enitre summer.

Sorry to hear about that. Please kindly note that in the process of collision, the drone is subjected to external force, which may cause damage to different parts of the drone. Besides, we cannot provide a replacement one first. If you have any doubts about the flight, you may apply for data analysis if it's under warranty period. We still recommend you send it back for testing at your convenience. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Hi
It is brand new. And a combination with my previous drone, the controller is not programmable, I am lefthanded and I had the sticks altered for my convinience. So instead of lifting, I went forward and into a brick.
I am quite sure that it is no other damages to the drone other than the propeller screw. Even the propeller looks fine - will of course replace all 4 in front due to hidden cracks.

OK, I will consider it since I have bought an insurance also.
How do I do that?
