Hey guys,

I just had a small accident with my Mini in my living room. My dog wanted to grab it, I got scared she doesn’t get injured and crashed it on a table. Didn’t break any props nor I see any damage on my Mini. The thing is my rear RIGHT arm is doing a click when I fold it(middle of the path) and its touching body when folded(right where 249g is written). LEFT arm is at approx 1.5 mm distance from body.Doesn’t seem loose and AC flies like when it was new.
Thank you!
Teo
 
Here are some photos.
When its folded you can see there is no gap anymore (was before) between right rear arm and body.
When arms are open I don’t see any difference.
Right arm also unfolds harsher than left arm.

its probably the pivot point that has got slightly out of line ,you could undo the small screws on the top and bottom of the arms just a turn then try and fold the arm and see if the harshness has gone then after you have taken the arm back to the open position just nip them gently back tight ,dont overdo it as you could strip the threads the screwdriver that is used for the props should be the right size
