Hey everyone,
First, I would like to say I am excited about joining the DJI family. With that said, I have spent more time researching through youtube and reading forums on a fix. Parts are on order and will be here Wednesday-Thursday.
Long story short, I was flying around about 60' high. I was trying to land and got disoriented and ran straight into a tree which caused mass choas and sent the P3 out into the air upside down crashing onto the roof and then onto the porch roof and finally coming to a rest on the pavement. All the rotors were broken and the battery was thrown out. MY STOMACH ACHED.
I ran over and immediately saw the gimbal was no longer attached but was hanging by one ribbon cable which was partly severed. Looking more into it, the camera appears to be working but the yaw arm is slightly bent. Not sure it it will make a big deal and maybe a calibration will fix, but we have the parts coming to fix it if it doesnt. The hard shell is busted and bent in some places. Putting new rotors on causes it to hit the case in some places. I'm hoping a heat gun will be able to fix but if not, a new shell is coming as well. I took the gimbal off and put the battery back in and got the go ahead to fly. It connected to GPS and would have flown if I had rotors on.
We shall see. I'll try to keep everyone posted .....
