DJI Phantom FC40 Crash

[Leon Adams]

Hi everyone

I am new to this forum and also new to quadcopters, i was toying with my drone in my back garden, low level flying not fast. I had a crash nothing bad but i tried flying it again and found that it now pulls to one side and wont hover in one place either. Does anyone have any advice for me?
The props are in one piece, maybe abit bruised but no major cracks or splits.
Please I dont know what to do.

Thans in advance

Hi mate sorry to hear about the crash , if the ground was soft there may be dirt in the motors , you may have to remove them to clean them , its not a bad job, but when you open the case there is a GPS unit in the top dont snap the wires or plug

Thank you

It was my felt garage roof that it landed on, sort of clipped the bottom of the legs and It toppled. Wasn't going fast and killed the motors straight away.
I was also using my gopro and I read online that the wifi messes with the gas or something was maybe thinking it could have been that.

oh man, there is always chances of crash if you are involve in rc quadcopters, rc helis and planes. so don't worry man.

I second that , 450 frame arms snapped , 666mm frame total write off , x525 frame write off, and now 500 class heli tip over so that needs feathering shaft, main gear, main shaft, tail boom , main blades,one servo £90 in total , but this is what keeps RC companies going us crashing its all part of flying and learning to fly
