the top button was forced in by the housing button . and it is not powering on anymore . im going to take a look at it tonight .
and the lenses are scratched . im lucky that a car did not ride over it coz i landed in the road .

oh well the air frame is good . the motor shaft are slighty bent . it flys still . the gopro is a write off and the kk2 screen is broken . the kk2 works but the screen is blank .
