    Phantom 4 crash

    I just wanted to follow up and give a testimonial. My drone was crushed. I contacted DJI repair service and they sent me a label to send it in for evaluation and estimate. They fixed it like new for $250 and it is just like a new one. Got it back in about 1 week! That kind of service is RARE...

    Phantom 4 crash

    Right. That was the only propeller broken and it was on the right rear motor

    Phantom 4 crash

    Well because it broke at the hub in just that one place. So if it had done that while airborne it would have not arrived at the wreckage site. Make sense?

    Phantom 4 crash

    I inspected all 4 props and they were fine. Prop break was not it. Is it common for a motor to fail? Should I sent the unit to DJI repair to see what it would cost?

    Phantom 4 crash

    Phantom 4 crash

    Yes I see that folder but it is "empty". There is no data in that file. Maybe because the flight was so short?

    Phantom 4 crash

    There are some DAT files stored associated with this flight but they are not labeled as you indicated and is describes those files as VCD video files.

    Phantom 4 crash

    Is there an appropriate forum where I can post crash data from my drone and have some expert tell me what went wrong? Yesterday I took off to fly my normal route with the phantom 4 which I have done many times before. 12 seconds into the flight it started spinning, lost control and slammed into...
