Ye.. its true.
Happened to me.
I was flying low above a dock over some boats, and the most stupid bird in the world attacked my bird...
Stalled one of the engines.. I managed it not to flip, but it was too low... crashed on a stone slope, and then tumbled onto the river...
15 min it stayed there until I was able to get it out.
Battery removed and gone into smoke atack.
Rushed home, opened the bird up, shot compressed air everywhere and sunk it on a big bag of rice...
Problem is, I'm in a middle of a 5 day video shot for a big costumer... So 10 hour in the rice (i know..not enough),and I tried to assemble it and turned it on...
No camera, no gimbal movement. got wifi and radio control, but no engine start (5 red lights. GPS failure?)
so I will have to buy another one tomorrow to finished the job... and then maybe someday I'll try to salvage what I can from this.
I knew it would fall some day, I just wished I has made enough work with it to pay it first.
Too pissed right now. Nature was not me friend today.
