Gee, wonder why... :-(
Was hot roddin' around my backyard last night and mis-judged my stopping distance. (I'd been flying my tiny whoop; guess I forgot how heavy this XSP is.) I ended up getting tangled up in a tree, 19' up. Fortunately, there was enough momentum that it didn't get tangled up in the branches. Unfortunately, there was enough momentum that it tumbled all the way down thru the tree and onto the ground.
As most have mentioned, this is a tough bird! One broken prop and these wires pulled out. I'm hoping the replacement cable I'm buying is the only thing wrong with the camera.
I did a hurry-up job trying to push all the pins back into the connectory, but we had company over and I didn't get all the pins pushed in all the way, so the XSP fires up but there's no video connection.
I'll do some more work on it tonight and see if I can get it fixed.
Lesson(s) learned!!
