Hard Landing

[DJM1110]

I misjudged the wind today and got pushed into a tree branch. Landed hard and now I’ve some repairs to make. Could use some advice.
Repair #1
One of the arms won’t lock. The arm isn’t broken but the locking mechanism is, can I fix this on my own? If so what part do I need?
Repair #2
The left landing arm won’t stay down. It retracts slightly. Any ideas?

Remove the camera and props. Turn on the H and ST16. Turn the H up-side-down and try the landing gear several times. If one side does not retract you will need a new motor.

You can also find a number of videos on performing these repairs on YouTube.

As Steve mentions, try cycling the gear with the unit upside down which has worked for me on a couple of occasions. Otherwise, replacing the gear servo is a simple fix, with 2 screws that hold servo in place and 1 screw for the strut.

Haven't had to do an arm repair yet, but from my experience, the H is pretty easy to work on.

You’re suggestion worked! Thanks. I went ahead and ordered myself a motor though just to have on hand.

Landing fix worked. Arm repair may be easier than expected. The arm is good but the locking clip broke. Surprisingly the clips are sold separately. So it’s a $3 fix.

Where did you find the clips? I have one on one arm that is of concern from a previous hard landing and roll over. Thanks.
