I took my P3s out today. I am still flying on beginner mode but I still managed to mess up. I was flying around mostly trying to get a feel for the controls. I landed, restarted and took off and basically did practice drills. All was going great. At one point my battery warning went off. Since I am new to this drone when the battery warning sounds I bring it in and stop flying.
I was near to but I thought safely away from a tree. Unfortunately I moved the stick in the wrong direction and got closer to the tree but I didn't hit it. The light and the thin branches made it difficult to see so I had a not so brilliant idea. I thought I'd use return to home. The moment I did that it increased altitude, which I totally forgot about, and hit branches then fell to the ground. The fall was probably twelve feet to the top of a low roof then four or five more feet to the ground. The only damage I can see is the tip of one rotor/prop broke off.
All this was to ask, is there anything I need to do before flying again, other than replacing the blade? I’m going to search this topic as well but any input is appreciated.
