It was a pilot errror, no question.
The Mini got stuck in a tree at 70 feet height. During the afternoon winds it fell down. We had prepared a soft landing, but it lost the microSD card while bumping during the fall (didn't see it falling). Also the left rear leg is bent upwards (not sure if that happened during the crash or the fall). And it does not move. I do not want to use too much force, in case there is a locking mechanism inside, which could break.
I live in Peru in a rural area. Support is hard to get. I prefer to repair it myself if possible.
I assume that I have to remove the two screws at the leg, where the rotating hinge is. After that, I think, I can remove the leg and somehow adjust the inner mechanism.
The first screw was no problem. The other one is basically inaccessible (see red circle in photo - because of the angle, the screw head points "inward" to the body). I tried different screwdrivers, even a 1/2 inch long Philips tip (held by pliers): No success.
My questions:
1) Am I right to think I have to remove the leg? Or does somebody know a secrect movement or "trick" how to get the leg in its right position?
2) How can I remove this screw?
Thank you for all hints!
