Good luck

It happens to everybody, Lazy C.  Hope you're not out of commission long.

Well, looks like I flew it into a tree. I guess no excuses but from my vantage point which was fairly close, it seemed I was clear of any obstacles. Why didn't the obstacle avoidance work?

There's the blue sky technique.  You know it?  Just keep your Phantom's background surrounded by blue sky at all times and you won't hit anything.  It's a thing.  Works great.

The side sensors are not active when flying in P-mode.

Any one have any guestiments on the cost to repair? I know it needs new body, landing feet and the gimbal is broke.

to be honest and brand new one would be better.

That much? I just bought this one.....39 flights and just over 5 hours flight time

'Why didn't the obstacle avoidance work?'

According to the log, the obstacle avoidance did work, about 0.6 seconds before the end of the flight. But in any event, obstacle avoidance does not always work on trees, especially if they are bare and whispy, like in winter.

I once flew straight into a tree on purpose slow, just to test the sensors and it worked fine. That was the forward sensors, i was also moving slow on this crash but sideways as I was starting an orbit around a building.

I guess I should have read that the sensors do not work but who would have thought the side sensors to not work in P mode which is the most common mode.

The side sensors do not work as well as the front and rear sensors as they are a different technology.

The side sensors only work in beginners mode

I guess I need to go back to Beginners Mode!!!! All of my hobbies are getting expensive. Last week my camera got knocked off the counter and broke a $2300 lens, now this week a $1500 crash...

Nahhh! just go easy. You are not alone. The hard lessons are the best lessons. We don't forget those.

yea, if you are very good mechanical skills you can find a empty shell and rebuild it, or have insurance cover it, if you have it.
