Hi! just bought my "training" FPV drone and decided to use neo as training drone, fly indoors and i crashed it into my desk and fall about 1.5 meters to the floor, the drone looks ok, no error in the app too, just curious, is there any information regarding materials used for the drone? and is it possible that i bent the frame even if theres no crack?

Thanks in advance! fly safe!

Watch this video, and you will see your Neo will be ok

wow.......

Check out the 100 meter drops onto grass and then concrete from the same presenter.  Looks like after he cut the motors the Neo self leveled. The propellers might have started auto rotating reducing the descent speed.  Crashed the Neo a few times flying manual mode too low for my skill levels.  So far, only damage has been some light scuff marks and couple sheared off propeller blades.   Not top prop guards mounted.  Found the Neo upside down.  Maybe no prop damage if I would have had the guards on.

The plastic used seems pliable enough to absorb some of the impact.  Better to deform than shatter.  Looks like what happened to the presenters Neo "gimbal bumpers" after repeated head on collisions.

OP, the Neo makes for a nice trainer to develop manual mode stick skills.  Setting the rate/gain to what you like.  Engaging the ATTI mode to prevent unintended loops or rolls.  The FPV RC3 controller's Brake/Pause button or flicking the mode 3 way switch from M to either N or S modes has saved my Neo from a few crashes.  As long as you have enough altitude.  All features makes like easier vs. most other quads for learning manual mode skills.
