What sort of damage should I check for after a very minor crash? And how would I check for it?
I was on a job site and started my P3A AC up in F mode instead of P mode. There was a it of wind and the props hit some bushes.
Luckily for me, it was only about three feet off the ground and the battery ejected immediately on impact. So despite landing propeller side down, it seems like the motors stopped immediately. And it landed on grass.
I gave it a cursory inspection, then started it up (this time in P mode), gave it a couple quick launches and landings, and it seemed fine. So I finished the job.
So now that i have a few days before my next job, is there a good way to inspect the P3A?
I think in particular I am worried most about possible damage to the motors. I didn't see any errors when I was flying later that day, but since I am cautious, should I go out to some field and try some specific flight maneuvers and see if there are any errors?
Thanks in advance for any things I should check.
