So long story short, I have always wanted a camera drone to film sport, but never had enough money to actually get one. I found a Eachine E520S on ebay for under £100 and the reviews seemed OK so I got it. Had a few flights today and got a bit cocky, took it up too high and the wind got it :/
Totally my own fault and huge learing curve!

Basically it crashed into a tree and fell onto the concrete. Seemed fine so I turned it off and took it back to the field to see if it was OK
One rotor wasn't spinning, so I went home and took it apart, it seemed like one motor had been slightly dislodged so wasn't catching the white disc with teeth (the gear?)

I put it back together but the white disc looked like some of the teeth may have been damaged. Now the drone will only hover a few inches off the floor!!!

I am a total idiot. Before I broke it, it did everything I could have hoped for and wasn't terrible video quality! My question is, do you guys think I could fit a new disc in and fix the problem?
Can anyone reccomend where I could buy one. Or should I just take it somewhere to be repaired. If so can anyone reccomend someone around Manchester that could do it?

Sorry for the long first post and I hope someone with more knowledge and expertise than myself can help out.

It also doesn't seem to have it's motor pods fully extended. If this was due to the crash, you have a serious problem. Perhaps someone else on this forum can help.

So after charging it up overnight I tried it again today and it appeared as if the arm is bent, so it flew a bit higher but then dropped height again. I have ordered a new arm for it to see if that fixes the problem!
