[QUOTE="Milo Minderbinder, post: 392259, member: 25611"] Hello Folks My drone had what looked like a fairly minor crash with a tree after the unit stopped obeying the transmitters instructions. It was working fine in a very short preflight other than the SD card supposedly not being present. I powered off and powered back on and with seconds of takeoff it became unresponsive. The YouTube video of the crash is [MEDIA=youtube]cVqxeiNjrsY[/MEDIA] Anyway much to my surprise the gimbal arm is twisted and bent as seen in the attached picture. You may notice a slight uplift on the right hand side on the gimbal. First is it possible to bend aluminium with a twist without it snapping. It seems applying heat may damage the ribbon and that seems a pain to replace. Second If using a vice what part of the unit should I attack the device once detached. This seems to be a common problem [/QUOTE]
