Crashed, Still Works, What To Do Next

[thesurg3on]

I had a May-day and ran out of battery fighting winds and couldn’t land. It was either drone was going to go down in the ocean, or I had to go high and throttle towards land. I chose the latter. Drone ran out of juice and went into the side of the mountain. I broke a few propellers. Everything is functional including gimbal and camera.

Question is, I have drone protection through DJI. Exercise it or save it for another incident where my drone is actually broken?

i would do the dji care test they request on your current drone to qualify, double check all the app readouts, low flight test, check readouts again, high fly test

Unless you break something expensive, it makes no sense to use it.
