Hi, so i just bought my DJI mini SE, i'm very very new to drone,
all my knowledge only come from watching videos, i want to test my drone on my roof, i was flying too close to my roof, until a wind blows and my drone move a bit to my roof, it got out of control, but luckily it didnt crash and continue flying, should i be worried?

Check your propellors for damage.
Hi! Thanks for your reply, no damage can be seen, its a bit dirty with some gunk from he roof, but no deep scratch or something like that, not sure if its 100% straight tho, i will take pic for every prop later on, i test the drone, its still hovering fine, but havent done any calibration.
If you are new to flying a drone, find yourself a large open field and learn to fly there.
Fly the drone awsay from you and back again (drone facing to you) and get used to do opposite steering on the controls. If you get used to that, start to fly from your roof
Tip: in close tight area land you drone in front of you with the front of the drone facing away from you.

No I would not. From your description only the propellers hit the roof, but it did not crash. If it flies fine and no error messages on the screen, I think it's OK.
But you might want to examine the body for cracks just to be safe.

yeah, ive posted those prop pics, what do you think? should i change them?
Hi, BoozingBearMan. Based on the photos, those are just minor scratches, if the app is not giving you any error while flying with it then that should be fine. Please pay attention to the app prompt during the flight. Also, JJB* has provided a good suggestion, you may follow it since you're new to flying drones. Have a safe flight always!
