Just had my H drop out of the sky, I didn't know what happened at first, When i lost camera feed, But then I looked at the radio screen and I knew want happen, I didn't see any volts or altitude or range. And i knew the battery came disconnected in the H. I didn't put the battery in correctly (going to get a velcro strap before next flight). The camera and gimbal is a total loss it plowed in the soft muddy ground.(landing gear was up) lost lower landing gear and 2 props and 4 arm clips (good idea to have few spare clips just in case only 2.99 each) I think those are designed to break on impact so the arm it self doesn't take the force of the impact . Everything else looks in perfect shape not a scratch. So i got on my lap top , won a brand new cgo3+ camera on ebay for 180.00, and another 50.00 of parts for the landing gear servo, lower and upper landing gear and arm clips. At least it wasn't polite flite error or issue with the bird it self.granted I am not happy having to spend over 200.00 ., But i think I got off cheap i was impressed that the bird frame was completely intact , no scratches , scuffs or cracks. (DID I SAW NOT A SCRATCH ? WOW !!!! LOL...) And yes the bird started right up, linked right to the radio ,got range, altitude reading and motors ran perfect, cooling fans working fine, no odd sounds , mums quiet.i all i was funny !! i don't mind if you "lol" at me in the responses I do think it was funny I still really love this bird...so what else should i do before my next flight besides calibrate the compass?
Merry Christmas
THANKS IN ADVANCE

well i'm for the new parts to arrive on 12/30 ill keep you all updated. glad i got the cgo3+ camera for 180.00. besides the aem clips breaking and lower landing gear, the bird connected with the ground station as normal gps, altitude, range and volt all seemed fine, hit the start button got the motor turning good, no strange sounds or hum coming from the bird at all. just need to know if there is anything i should check on the ground station besides the compass.

Ok new update, got the new cgo3+ and camera wont power up.so i bought on (offer up .com) a regular typhoon h without real sense and and it came with a cgo3+ camera for 350.00 wow what a deal. i might return the other camera i bought for 180.00. Still waiting in the other parts to repair my H pro... Anyway i tested the new camera on the new "H" i got and it works great. so my first question is.. is there a seperate camera board on the typhoon H pro ? or is it all on the main board? second question is can i take the real sense off my H pro and put it on the bird i just bought without real sense; because the rear light on the (H with out real sense) looks different. third question. before i go through all this changing of realsense. is there a difference in flight distance between the typhoon h and the typhoon h pro ?
thanks in advance

OK i bought a new bought a new main board with flight control board for 53.00 on ebay. after a week of watching videos. I decided to tackle the task of replacing it. I was somewhat worried replacing my main board with all the connections and all, but she is done. It really wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. everything seems to work fine but cant test realsense until the weather permits.
Thanks for everyone input on my previous posts
:note to self fire ground crew that prepped my bird for flight.
