Did something stupid

[HIGHFLIER]

Hit some power lines.

Damage report:
1 propeller
1 gimble cable
2 2.4ghz wires
1 gimble mounting plate

Thinking I can just reconnect the wires. Has anyone done this?

Don't be doing that kind of stuff.

Yup did the same thing. 65 ft high and hit the wires. Quad came tumbling out of the ski. Battery popped out was all that happened. Still flying fine.
My biggest problem was getting to the drone before a dog that was chasing it got there before me!

[HIGHFLIER]

Well im basically just going to attempt to reattach the wires

Camera wont turn on. So ya i guess i'll just up my credit limit and buy another

Never mind i figured out that the cables were in fact in the wrong spots like i had suspected.

Thanks to this picture that shows the 8 grey cables go all to one side

I just did only problem i have is one of the 2.4 Ghz wires i cant get clipped back on to the spot on the gimble board. So i need to get a solder gun and i'll grab a hot glue gun as well
