That sucks that you crashed your P3. I crashed my son’s about a month ago. It took off to RTH, got tangled in some tree branches and hit the pavement hard. It was only my 4th flight. I was goi g to just take the loss but decided to send it back to DJI since it is still under warranty and see what they say.

best of luck Brother it definitely isn't fun seeing something so expensive crash. I have crashed $2000 planes and it will make even the strongest of men shed a tear, especially when it comes time to tell the wife.

My only (near) crash was my maiden flight. Barely clipped a cedar tree. My P3A lost altitude from not more than 10-15 feet and corrected itself without hitting the ground. It ended up hovering about two feet above the grass. And it trims cedar tips beautifully.
