So, I recently lost my second Tello. Let me rephrase - I had my first Tello for about a year and I lost it when I lost wi-fi connections and it got carried off in the wind and ended in somebody else's yard/tree. I went to every house around me and asked the neighbors but never found the drone. Because I had a controller, extra batteries, carrying case, had even been using the TelloFPV app, etc, I decided to buy another one. Not to mention the fact that I like the little thing. Well, I was zipping around with it pretty well and after owning it for just over a month, it once again got caught in the wind and ended up in a very tall tree in my own yard (and no, I did not have the propeller guards on). After a couple of days I was able to get it down by climbing on a ladder with three long poles duct taped together and was able to knock it out of the tree. When I went to try to fly it, three of the propellers worked, one motor was completely dead. I was able to order the replacement motors from Amazon and watched several videos about how to fix it. Well after multiple attempts of doing this, I have been unsuccessful. So now I have a dead Tello and I'm actually considering whether I should buy another one or not. I feel like I've got a lot of time and money already invested in this product line. Do I cut my losses or do I go ahead and get another Tello? One of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because it's great practice for when I fly my DJI Mini 2 not to mention I don't have to get in the car and go somewhere to fly a Tello. So am I crazy to consider getting a third one? Anybody else purchased multiple Tellos over their lifetime? Lol!
