Yep, had my first crash with a drone 1 week old. I say my first crash as this may not be the last one. I try to be careful but you know the old saying..."sh## happens". Caught a tree branch and it sent her to the ground. Did crack the left front arm just beside the round part of the motor mount. Did not completely sever the arm but wouldn't or probably couldn't fly it in that condition.
So, JB Weld to the rescue. Let it set over night, held into place with a couple of rubber bands and did a test flight this morning. It flew as intended! I did order a left front arm yesterday though but will keep it as a spare now as the existing arm is now more than likely stronger than it originally was in the damaged spot. So why change it , right?
On the positive side? I LOVE this drone. Does what I need it to do (aside from missing trees) and am getting some awesome shots and videos. Still learning about what it can do but from what I've done....excellent!
