    Noob mistake resulting in crash

    With only 10 flights under my belt, I stupidly set the home point under a hemlock tree.

    MP DJI prop guards

    Being that I have had a few incidents with trees jumping front of me I decided I could help prevent further prop damage by installing a new set of DJI prop guards. Went good for a while but had another incident yesterday. The good thing is that I did not damage my props, but my prop guard...
