Not broken. Drone is still intact.

Also I worked for Target yes they do as long as serial numbers match because they send it back to MFR

If 75% of the propulsion system is "lost" the vehicle is not intact.

Props are quick release plastic props. They can be taken off and put back on (and I bought extras in case of crashes) so they’re back on. Drone flies fine outside except the damn GEO/GPS issues and fly zones here in the metro dc area

There are ways to fix that issue. But its going to require the drone to stay within LOS.

The DJI GO 4 app and the software makes it very NOT user-friendly. I am still kind of stressed about figuring out all of the settings. They don't make it easy. They should have a mode that relieves them of all liability so we can fly it wherever the fuck we want.

Yeah they designed it to be pretty idiot proof. The motors turn off when props aren’t detected or they over-rev

There are stories of drones flying away when the GPS signals aren’t available mid flight.

Just take it apart and put an aluminum shroud over the GPS. But then it will be LOS or video only.

There are different apps you can use to mitigate this problem.
