Hello,

My Starling 2 drone crashed, and a good amount of damage was done. The PCB board was cracked, and the GPS mount was broken, and I was wondering whether I should submit a Repair Merchandise Authorization, and generally how long does the entire process take from submit an RMA to receiving the drone back?
