Holy Stone HS720 E Drone | Broken Arm Repair | First test flight

After wildly toilet bowling out of control and crashing in the trees the front arm on my drone ended up snapped. The drone is a holy stone HS720e. The crash I'm sure was 100% human error caused by one of two things. I didn't calibrate correctly before 1st takeoff or the drone was in a cool environment over night in my trailer then came outside into the hot morning air. There was condensation on other items kept in the same storage area and the could have been condensation on the electronics inside my drone.

Have the same drone ,flew many times never had it hooked up to phone worked just fine.Decided to try flying it with the phone ,big mistake .For some reason motors shut off in mid air and came crashing to the ground breaking the right arm.Ordered new arm from HS .You sure did a good job soldering yours ,looks tricky

Ya. Good little drone but they can be funny. Guess we could buy 3 of these for the same cost as a mavick. Two pieces of advise don’t overheat the board. A little heat goes a long way. It seemed to take more heat to remove the wires to reattach… If you have an alligator clip or tweezers use it as a tool to hood the wire. Keeping your fingers away from the hot iron and helping hold the small flimsy wires Gl 🍻

That whole 720 line has major gps problems. When they fly great there great but most of the time they dont so i fly mine manually. Just land it at th 1st low battery indicator
