Well it has to happen some time!

Was happily flying my Lama around my room, a welcome distraction from my studies. An open window next to me Idea Outside the window is lots of open space to have some real fun.. Only on the first floor what harm can happen?? Rolling Eyes

Gently put the Lama down on the ground, check the wind... None!! Very Happy
Here we go! Nice gentle hover by the open window, shall I do it... heart rate goes up... slight bit of aprhension... go on.. Out it goes... Beautiful!!

My Lama is released into the wilds of Stockton, bit of flight round the yard (very small concete) what fun... Above the next door neighbours roof... yep, no problem...back.. what fun... 8 min alarm... time to come back... get up just by the open window... hover a little as the nerves come back. You guessed it, clipped the window frame... still got it back slight bit of altitude drop... just enough for the blades to clip the ledge... Mayday... mayday... lama going down!!

SMACK!! Crying or Very sad

Considering I think I'm very lucky, collar just below the Swash was pushed up... so had to pull all that off to reset it (was actually up inside the swash so couldn't get it down). Only one of the battery holder clips on the main body has snapped!! Flies as good as new.. actually had the most stable hover I've had in a while.. Laughing Consider myself Very Lucky! Shocked
