Hello,
Despite being a new Drone pilot, I was doing pretty well until today. When I decided to give it a bit more of a work out by following a local branch line out of direct visual range. As I neared the tunnel, at a distance of no more than 1/4 mile, it decided to elevate into a low hanging tree branch and crashed.
Eventually I found it, with considerable damage to the gimble, two prop assemblies, and other stuff. Thankfully, I purchased the care free package or whatever they call it, when they will repair or replace it two times. I'm hoping they don't count this as one of my replacements, due to it being a drone issue as I wasn't even touching the sticks at the time. In any case, rest assured I will NEVER operate the drone in a confined area again. Especially for recreational flying.
