Well that's exactly what I was aftraid it would do. Hope you didn't lose too many parts

nothing lost, I got leally violent with it on the previous pack and i think it actually started to fail in flight. Then a slightly less than gracefull landtng and it was all too much , next pack had a proper midlife .

Um a better battery pad , I make sheets of kwadkengrip out of construction poly adhesive. make any thickness .
Some cling film some spacers and a couple of heavy books. There is some on the printed quad . should have put it on both.

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone!
