Crashed into a tree, fell through the limbs to the ground. Has 4 fractured legs. No other apparent damage.

But before I go trying to snap the legs back into place I'd like some advice on what I can/should do and what not to do.

Can I just apply pressure to the long separated areas and they will pop back into place?

Looks like the small pop out tabs (where you can see one is missing) need to be removed before the legs can pop back into place. True?

And how do I snap the tab out? And how do I put it back?

If anyone can offer some advice here I'd appreciate it. I'd rather learn from you than to take an expensive lesson from myself.

Replace them... FYI I am not associated with dronenerds at all, just did a quick search and for 29.00 I'd just get new and replace them

Tape works fine until you can replace.

Looks like lucky escape, I think you can put it back together temporary and yes looks like small tabs would be last to go on,as above has said if it doesn't work $29 for new legs.

Yes the tabs for the screw covers would be the last thing you would need to put back when replacing the landing gear. Please keep in mind, however, that there can be some antenna damage that will affect the overall flight or image transmission in the future. You may want to have the unit sent in for service.
