While flying my MA at a county park football field I collided a metal light pole. Broke off the right front and rear arms.
No excuses but still sick to my stomach, I was approximately 100 yard from pole and don't think I could have hit it if I tried. Murphy's Law
Does anyone know what kind of cost for repairs?
I've contacted Dronenerds.com and waiting to ship to them for repairs.

Ballpark quote for parts and labor w/o seeing the drone

New IMU-$39
Front Right Arm- $38
Rear Right Arm- $38
Labor 2 hrs- $120

Now if that doesn't do the trick than they may need to replace the board

Main Board- $89-no extra labor as you need to remove the board anyway to get to the imu

Hope this helps and you get this bird back in the air sooner than later.

Hello Ty

Repair work is completed, firmware, calibration, vision sensors all updated w/ no errors. However we still need to flight test b4 we send back to you. We will email tracking once the bird passes the flight test.
We appreciate your patronage. As always let us know if we can be of further assistance
