My P3A hit a wire on ascent at about 20', tipped, looked like it tried to right itself but fell to the ground, ended upside-down grinding the hubs flat on the props. Wouldn't respond to CSC to shut motors.
Broken gimbal yaw arm, bent yaw motor shaft, cover plate for the yaw motor, pitch arm/motor, bent landing legs, one antenna popped out of its mount, broken compass wire, shell seams deformed, cracks in screw wells behind the motors. Camera body scratched up bad but camera itself looked OK. Not sure of UV filter lens.
Got new gimbal assembly though they quoted a repair, new shell, landing gears/compass.
I think one CW motor was slightly damaged but that didn't show up until 1 week later getting it back. It was slightly noisy sending it in but after a week it got somewhat worse. I think the other CW motor might also be developing an issue but very slight right now.
Wish I could rebuild the bad motor with new bearings, then I'd have a good spare. The 2312a just aren't easy to get apart. Even the brass ring is press fit.
