From one of my previous experiences the money was well worth it! The P2V+ (v3) in the middle of the photo got caught in a Vortex Ring State and bounced off my asphalt driveway. The fortunate thing for me that I discovered by accident (pun intended) was the one undocumented feature of some 3D printed leg extenders. They went flying off in all directions when it crashed and I thought at that moment I was witnessing $1300 turned to junk. What astonished me was that the Phantom had ZERO damage other that a grass stain where it landed after bouncing off the asphalt! Turns out the leg extenders acted like shock absorbers / crumple zones and took the brunt of the impact. As I said before -- I don't fly without them! |
