watching learning enjoying guessing feeling flying

After unwrapping a brand new drone
less than two weeks ago and (1) a few days
of blissful photography, the worst happened yesterday. It really made me
feel helpless and powerless. I just crashed my drone into a tree (2)
backward. I thought it was above the treeline, but I was dead wrong. (3) my
fragile, complicated and expensive flying camera bounce between tree branches, I got shocked
when it hit the ground and broke one of the motor arms. (4) desperate, I checked its
website to see if there’s an authorized repair center anywhere near me. As the damage to my drone
isn’t under warranty, I’ll have to pay to have it repaired. Though I’m aware of the fact that when
owning a drone, a crash is inevitable, I feel really miserable and disappointed. I know it
happens to everyone, but I must confess that (5) how to properly
fly a drone is a real challenge. Tomorrow, the first thing to do is to get
my beloved drone checked and fixed.
