Today was scary. I was flying my drone low to the ground at about 25mph in a freshly cut thatch field. So essentially a padded ground, which came in handy. As I was flying low (10ftish) to get a cool looking pov, the drone began to drift... As I was at an odd angle of my LOS to the rc, it was hard to see how bad of a drift it was. Well the instant I clipped a tree branch, down goes my drone following by the ptsd-inducing groan and grinding of my motors upon hitting the ground. You can imagine the look of horror on my face.
Long story short, spent 20 mins cleaning the drone and assessing the damage. Besides a broken prop, and a bruised ego, the bird flew just fine afterwards. So far, like nothing ever happened.
My point: These drones can take a beating.
