During my first flight which I foolishly tried inside my home, the drone starting behaving weird and got entangled into curtain strings, though physically it appears undamaged, any chance of it being damaged? Experienced members please advise...

Yes I did learnt...But amazingly I had tried 2-3 times before and was able to do some maneuvers..And it was flying nice...Don't know why it went out of control..I doubt there is much damage but I hope you learned something.....

Close the curtains and you should see if there is any damage. If light shines in through the closed curtains, they are probably damaged.
Which model do you have?Yes I did learnt...But amazingly I had tried 2-3 times before and was able to do some maneuvers..And it was flying nice...Don't know why it went out of control..

And it has but none of the Phantom range of UAVs are really 'living room' drones. They can and will do a lot of damage when flown in that environment.
Thanks for wishes
although it appears undamaged but I am just worried about its balancing issues, if any, after such accident...I had to untangle the curtain strings from its propeller blades..
What mode were you flying? That will determine which sensors were enabled. How much light was in the room when you crashed? The optical vision sensors don't work (well) under low light conditions.
It was in beginner mode, light was ample, cannot say very brightly lit...I had just pressed auto fly with no other maneuver...it just started running towards window although literature says it should go straight up and hover and wait for further instructions...

Best is not to learn inside, destined for a curtain roll and no hand applause, it might pick up a satellite or 2 even in beginner mode and then it will act weird, with you switch in atti mode it will not misbehave, unless you have strong wind in your house The level to do your first flights is from 1 to 10 comparing a open field and get use to GPS lock and stick toggles, happy flying
