So it happened with me as well.   I crashed my Mavic Air and the one front leg broke off.

I`ve seen it happen to one other pilot as well.

The sad thing is that the DJI Inporter in South Africa says that spare parts are not yet available.  So what to do?

Nasty can you ship it back to dji.

Sad to hear of your loss. You will have to box it up and send it back. By the way, looking at your props, you do realise you are supposed to fly the thing, not use it as a 4 bladed lawn mower. Ha ha.

Oh no! What's happen?

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can get it up and running again.

Ouch!!! Sorry you crashed. Hope you're back up and flying soon.

At least someone has got a sense of humor

Sudden really strong gust as I was landing.  Sent it against a wall.

Yes I can but DJI has not yet made spare parts available for MA.

They may not have parts to send out to distributors, but you will find they will have all spare parts for customers, contact dji support.

Glue???

Had some leg broken on my spark, pretty same way, glued.

Flying great for 6 months now (from the crash)

LOL...that was funny.  

Sad news!

Hopefully they can get her up and flying soon so that you can continue on your learning journey with the Air!

Well, those blades DO have a fair amount of wear on the leading edges.  Do you fly through tall grass, trees, or in sandy environments?  Inquiring minds want to know.  

Sorry about the crash, hope you back in the AIR soon, posted the ebay link for the replacements on your other post

Sorry to read you crashed your little drone, do send it off to DJI for a repair start that process here https://www.dji.com/service/repair

Sorry for your loss :/ have you some footage from crash?

They don't work to well for Hedge Trimming either.  
But don't take my word for it.  Try it!

Dang very sorry to hear about your crash hope it gets sorted soon and you are back to flying in no time.

Thanks for concern, but No crash.  
It's a running gag.

I know you did not crash but your name came to mind as far as the trimming from the looks of the blades

The sad thing is that the DJI Inporter in South Africa says that spare parts are not yet available.  
So what to do?

Have any family or friends that live in an area that can get spare parts, then ship them to you?  

Sorry for your loss found this.

front left arm white

Hope you get it fix soon.  

Dang.  Sorry to see that.  Hope you get back in the air soon.

and yeah.. folks got jokes.  it's a heart breaking experience, right??  Especially for those of us with only one bird!

Sad to see.
Good luck with the repair.

When you said "Me Too" I wondered if your drone was involved in  a Weinstein manoeuvre.

Noooooo that's incredible

Hi, please refer to the update on this thread: https://forum.dji.com/thread-148745-1-1.html, you are recommended to start a case and send it in for a full diagnosis. Thanks!

hallmark007 Posted at 2018-5-16 10:03

Thank you for the advice.

I`ll try.

hah ha.
That is part of the result when the wind blew the craft over and when the damage occurred.

Hi Diana,

I`ve replied in full to your other comment.

The only people that I can send it to reliably is if I take it to the importer.

@HendrikJB,   sent you a PM.  Maybe some help.

Have you seen Jamie Hyneman's 'Aborist' mod for his DJI Inspire 1? He attached a circular saw blade to a drone. What could go wrong?

I had seen it before, it was pretty sad how arm flipped around as blade attempted to cut.

hallmark007 Posted at 2018-5-16 07:23

Sorry for the late reply.

For the cost of shipping from here I could buy 1/2 a MA

Thankfully I found someone close to me who is a certified DJI Repair Technician
