What is this for?

[Keith Chirsan]

I am working on learning the ins and outs of my new (new to me) Inspire 1 Version 2.
I flew it yesterday and am astonished at the difference between it and my beloved Mavic Pro.
Many told me I would be, and they were correct

I have a question about these white tubular plastic items.
Do they stay there and you just don't concern yourself with them?
The reason I ask is it seems like they could fall off with a little bumping.
I want to be sure I am not flying with something that is used only for storing or shipping.

Thank You very much for any assistance!

Two of them are not secure.
They can be lifted up like this with no force needed.
I just purchased the drone used and I am checking it out. It's in great shape so far.
If these are oil filled can I assume I need to repair them somehow?

just glue the bottom back in

As @TruGreen mentioned, no problem simply gluing them back to a secure position. Their function is to solely to absorb some of the force on harder landings. Land soft and you're all good! Safe flying with the new craft.

I broke two of those when I crashed one of my birds. There was no hydraulic oil in mine

I'm glad to hear that. I was wondering where it was supposed to go.
