RIP zippy

The last casualty of the crash is the battery. I tried all last night to revive it using all sorts of Jedi mind tricks to the charger according to instructions. The force wasn't with me this time and as I feared it felt it might catch fire due to the heat and the fact that it started expanding, I stopped my attempts. This must be the single most expensive loss of this crash but still nothing compared to rebuilding the whole quad.

Whats broken

Today's casualties:
  • Bottom right boom was bent
  • Propellers spent as you can see
  • One motor with strange sounds
  • Ultrasonic range finder is MIA
  • Few nuts and buts are spent
I found all electronics including flight controller, GPS, radio and ESC's to seem to work as usual.

Next thing I'll buy is the telemetry radio :).
