Crashed my mavic air yesterday - rear arm is broke, but drone seems to fly fine...should I fix it anyway?

[jconway2002]

I took the drone out on a windy day, and when I came back in to land the drone did not slow down as I expected and ended up in the branches of a tree, then falling ~20 feet to the ground. You can see there is a crack in the plastic ring join between the body and the arm, and that there is a small gap now. The drone arm still folds up, but not as smoothly. I took a test flight afterwards and everything seems to be fine, but I wasn't sure if this is something I can live with or if I need to get it fixed. If I need to get it fixed, does anyone have any idea on cost to get it done professionally? Thanks!

@jconway2002 it needs to be fixed before more flying is done,as the PIC you are responsible for ensuring as far as possible,that your drone is in an airworthy condition before you get airborne

Fix it before a potential catastrophe occurs.

If this were on your piper airplane, would you load up your family and go for a flight?.....didn't thing so.

Arms with motors are not expensive. Lot cheaper than another drone or lawsuit. Good luck on repair and getting back in the Air.
