Crashed my Q500 4K

[Aaron24]

Well it had to happen I guess. Had my Q500 4K for about a year and yesterday while flying I had my first crash. I flew it into a tree while flying about 10ft of the ground. I think the fact I was close to the ground was a blessing. Snapped 2 props and the top plate of the CGO3 camera was detached and only held on by 3 bushings. Other than that no damage.

Purely my fault it was about 50m away and I misjudged the distance between myself and the trees.

I snipped the 3 black wires connecting the CGO3 to the Q500 and attached the patch cable.

Powered on the Q500 and connected it to my PC. Seems to be all OK.

I did that with a tree a couple of weeks ago. Thought I was going in front of the tree, turns out I was a few feet shy of going behind it. Really need to get my prescription glasses LOL

Fortunately all I broke was props, but my Dad crashed his a while back and ripped Those Three Wires out.
