MrsG said there was nothing wrong with that.

Funny story. I bought my daughter a drone for her birthday 2 weeks ago.

Day 1: The first flight was a little wobbly. The second flight I flew it into the pool.

Day 2: I let it dry overnight and thought I would try it again. Had a couple of decent flights and got cocky. 5 min. later I flew it into a tree.

Side note - I'm a pilot for a living.

Is it still working?

Maybe the fact that you're a pilot is working against you.
Most of those drones are designed to fly themselves and be used by people who don't know anything about aeronautical stuff.

I just tried piloting one once.The less I tried to control it the better it stabilized itself.

The great part is that it's all on video so I can't live it down.

Yes, it still works. It landed in the water pretty close to the edge so I grabbed it real quick and took the battery off to dry. It has a kill feature that I did right before it hit the tree so it wouldn't damage the rotors. I might be over thinking it a little.
