long story short, about 30 seconds after takeoff my H backed itself into a tree and fell about 15ft.
Casualties include:
1 landing gear snapped off
1 land gear mechanism broken (will retract and lower gear but will not lock in place)
1 snapped prop
camera gimbal ???
the landing gear I know I can fix, its now the picture quality that has me concerned.
I recalibrated everything, checked everything over and took it out again tonight, flew perfectly from what I could tell. 2 issues with the camera/video: 1. the camera will not follow as I rotate the drone, no setting on the transmitter will lock the camera in place. 2. the video is bad - jello ripples across the frame.
Not being able to lock the camera and rotate with the drone makes me think the gimbal was damaged, but the jello video could either be a bad rotor-arm or damaged gimbal.
I guess I have little choice but to send it to Yuneec for repairs....any ideas what this could end up costing? I don't want to spend so much that I could just as easily buy another H.
