So, I hit a bushy tree.... My first (but not last one).
Damage:
1) broke a couple of propellor blades
2) slightly bent the tip of another.
3) knocked the c-clip off one of the motors....
So, I took the motor out a bit and replaced the c-clip and spacer (which were both inside the phantom body and needed to be shook out). I replaced the 2 broken blades. left the one with the slight (very slight) bend at the end on the machine.
Next time I took it out, it won't hover via gps like it used to. It stays put, but in a large circle (maybe 10ft. in diameter at times). It used to pretty much stand still in the same exact location before.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
1) Do you think the bent tip would affect the flight of it that much?
2) Is the motor doing something weird?
Oh, and here is a video of my first weekend with my new phantom vision 2:
