I took delivery of my Anafi just days ago...bear with me on this: I had it out on a flight and it bumped a tree. It not a hard crash and nothing was broken. I picked it up, looked it over, and went through the calibrations again (which went fine), and made sure everything worked: Crucial to this story is all the arms popped open and popped closed. I've made several flights since then without any issue...the Anafi flies perfect, no wandering, no instability, no lack of control, and physically it's been fine since the crash. A minor crash but a crash. EDIT: It was a light enough incident that no propellers were broken.
I opened the case today to make a flight, and notice the rear right arm swings freely - it no longer pops into place. There was a little lock washer that fell out of the table top as well, so obviously it came out of the drone and apparently from the arm post itself hence the lack of arm popping open/closed. I've watched the video from Parrot on preparing arms on the Anafi, and only got as far as removing the screws before realizing it was too late in the day to go any further.
My question is, has anyone had this problem, and how difficult is it to fix? I believe i have the part needed (the lock washer), and the know-how to disassemble and do it, but I'm curious if anyone's had this issue and what the general run through is on how long it takes and so forth.
Thank you!
