    Mavic Air Front Landing Gear DMG

    I believe the front landing gear also houses the antenna, so it might be a little more complex of a swap, but not bad. I could be wrong though, someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

    Strange things

    I would suggest you get your flight log posted here and I will almost guarantee Sar or another of our awesome minds can find the cause in no time.

    Strange things

    Did you have GPS lock before takeoff?

    Repair Facility Recommendation

    What? Dang it. I have only been here sporadically lately.

    Repair Facility Recommendation

    Thunderdrones was who I was about to suggest. Never had any work done by him, but have read about many happy customers on here and he is a very helpful part of the community here.

    Cause of this crash? Gust of wind?

    That's all I use it for, just an idea of what could be going on. I don't fly if it's very strong at the surface, much less 100' up or more.

    Cause of this crash? Gust of wind?

    What would you suggest instead? Is there an alternative? Besides the premium site mentioned above. I'm not using it for precision, just to get a basic idea of what the wind higher up may be like.

    Cause of this crash? Gust of wind?

    I will suggest, if you haven't already, download UAV Forecast App. It has wind speeds shown from ground to 5000 feet. I have been shocked with how fast wind speeds increase just a little ways up from ground level.

    Cause of this crash? Gust of wind?

    That's crazy, anxious to see what our talented flight record readers have to say. Something went wrong when it quickly tilted after the turn, then it all went wrong. Maybe a bird hit it and messed up a prop. Beautiful flying area.

    1st crash in over a year, what happened??

    I'm not sure this is possible on the Air. Could he have somehow adjusted his rates to where a slight input could have a full effect, like I'm able to do with my racing drone and my Taranis remote and flight controller? Just a thought. I haven't messed with my air much, other than basic camera...

    calibrate compass

    You aren't the only one, I recalibrate almost every flight too. But after reading through this, many of my flights are after traveling hundreds of miles, then the subsequent flights don't require a calibration. I'm going to do an experiment now and fly in the same spot a couple of days in a...

    Flying through trees.

    Watch Free Solo on Amazon Prime, that guy is nuts!

    Flying through trees.

    My guess is, he is flying in sport mode on those fly through shots. The more you fly in tight spaces, the easier it is to get accustomed to the wide view effect. You will have some crashes and such, which is why I practiced right flying in my carbon fiber racing drones and not my Mavic Air...

    Signal lost and can't find drone at last seen location

    Also, the 2+ mile range claim is a best case scenario with no interference whatsoever. I get nervous at about a mile and I only push it out that far on our farm where there isn't another house for a mile in any direction.

    Master Airscrew propellers... I just tested them

    Could over time, but doesn't sound you are flying too crazy. I'm sure the Air can take a lot more stress than we are allowed to out on it by dji software limiting.
