I was flying a mission and I started shifting back and forth between FPV and WP and got confused . . . at the wrong time in flight. Ran head-on into a wall of my house and cracked the nose fuselage. No visible damage to the camera, gimbal, or props! (Whew.) Test flight ok! So, a little Super...

yup. there are a lot of idiots out there . . .

In the peeping tom "scary" category as mentioned in my posted video. Surely not limited to Draper, CO. There were idiotic reactions posted in NextDoor to an incident in my own neighborhood: "shoot it down with a shotgun" (wonder where the fall of shot would be), "trap it with a net," amid...

Found this video which I thought was well-researched, both for pilots and homeowners. Comments?

@Yorkshire_Pud: You've helped me in the past and you've helped me again now. THANK YOU for sending me that photo with annotations no less! PERFECT. The rubber dampers were reinstalled. No other damage; test flight ok. BRAVO, sir!

Mini2 hit wall; crashed. Props and camera ok (amazing). I found left/right rubber "feet" under the gimbal pushed out and hanging free. They look like little shock absorbers that apparently just sit on either side of the gimble assembly. (Photo gold pointer shows one of the feet pulled up a...
