Hi Everyone,
Well it finally happened my first crash and of course it had to be into a cement chimney. It happened on take off everything was fully calibrated, safe to fly GPS so I took off maybe not in the widest of opened areas but I have flown here before. Upon launching about 40 feet in the air an unexpected wind just pushed it right into the chimney. Anyways, the gimbal broke off on 1 spot and the props as well. I ordered the new pieces but I noticed a nice gash on the top part of the shell. After replacing the props and while I wait for the gimbal vibration pad to come in I wanted to make sure everything else was fine. I took off just in front of my house and hovered everything appears to be ok. My question is do i replace the shell or hold off for a bit. Attached is the pic. I just want everyones advice i would hate to have it crash or get lost because of it.
Thanks in advance
