Looks like the Aflac Duck...

Amazing what this bird did to the cockpit canopy.

Have you guys listened to this? If it was a drone, it appears it was a large one to do this much damage (shown at the end), I wouldn’t think a phantom or mavic could do this kind of damage, but I’m no engineer or pilot. What do you think?

It’s funny we don’t see anything in the news about this. I’m not a pilot, but it sure looked unsafe for that chopper to come down and blow the mavic out of the sky. I mean it could’ve slammed into someone in the water.

Great job, here is the latest.. 2 arrested for drone use in London Gatwick Airport case. I hope they put them in a dungeon where they belong.

Wow, that was one great save. Congrats on it.

Isn't part of the bird strike testing on aircraft windshield, shooting a minimum 3 lb frozen chicken out of an air cannon, which seems quite a bit harder than a quad hitting the windshield.

Yeah, here in the States we'd say, "It tastes just like chicken".

Great job on the video, looks like you and your lady had a great time. Now I'm thinking about a trip.

So I'm not from the area, but couldn't you still launch next to the park, if it is a legal/owner approved area and fly over the park with no consequences, right? But I would make sure where I'm going so I don't have to land in the park for some battery issue, etc.

Oops, well we've all been there. Hopefully you'll get another chance someday.

That sounds really great, it would be great to see a video if you could post it.

Here's a YouTube link on the installation. I didn't realize loctite could damage the plastic.

I just ordered these from Amazon to install as contingency protection for stress cracks. Hope these work for you. I've also seen repairs on you tube where the YouTuber repaired the cracks with epoxy first then added the the additional protection covers.
