I am not a super experienced drone pilot, but do have a small bit of experience. This past weekend I was flying my MA2 and experienced my first ever crash, which was my own fault. I had it hovering 12-15 up and about 20 feet to my left. I looked down at the screen and slowly turned the drone while recording, making sure what I wanted was in the shot. I was in the woods and didn't realize as I was turning it that there was a very small branch that the drone (nor I) could detect because of no side sensors . The MA2 hit the branch, then the trunk of the tree and dropped the 12 or so feet onto the earth with pine needles. Boy was I fraught and kicking myself.
There were a few scratches on the end front top, the camera was pushed to one side, and a blade had come off. Upon inspection, the camera was easily returned to the normal, centered place by my hand gently returning it there. I brushed the drone off, but did have to replace a blade on the front of the drone. It was no longer usable. I immediately went to get it into the air again to insure everything was ok. Everything seemed to work just fine. However, I did notice that the lights on the front legs continued to be red during flight while the lights on the back were green.
Anyone care to give a dummy their thoughts on what the red lights remaining on might mean?
Thanks for any help.
