Well theres good news and bad news... the good- the low battery/ return home worked ( i didnt hear the low batt warning beep and was actually 6" from the ground trying to land)...... the bad (sigh) it went straight up (full power) into a tree branch and fell to the ground from 50 feet 'nose first'... landing gear broke at the transition hinge and snapped the forward post... and destroyed my X5.... it happened so fast there was no way i could catch it... a sad and expensive day... make sure your volume is up, and set your alarms for more fudge factor to get them down... operator is at fault...
I purchased the drone second hand (and it has flown flawlessly,) so there is no warranty, or service plan, my question is is it worth sending the drone back to DJI for repair or can I (should i) fix it myself… I'm mechanically inclined, and can probably find all the parts on eBay… my camera on the other hand absolutely must be sent back... any thoughts?
