On which drone and where should I be looking for stress cracks? I have cracks on my MPP where the battery clips into the sides of the body. But that’s because I took the top off about 15 times for repairs and replacement of the gimbal and compass modules. That thing can be difficult to remove.
Never seen cracks on my M2P.

I do punish my air2 a lot. Never unfold, do drive it harshly and push battery to near depletion. Let alone I fly it on high winds, sometimes up to 50 km/h. Well over specs.

My drone is 2000 flight hours old. Only once I did have an issue with a sudden gust among two buildings. Other than that, it's in perfect condition.

I do inspect it as per airdata's maintenance alerts.

To be frank, after such flying I believe the tech is quite robust and its recommended limits are well below what it can truly tolerate. I don't plan on easing up on it and I'm ready to assume it's my fault if I ever lose it.

I want to have fun with my drone. Not live in constant fear of losing it.

I guess any replies in the thread should include what model they have and I should have put that in the OP.
Edited the OP to reflect that.

I fly the MA2. It cracked where the left front arm connects. I am careful during the unfolding of the arms and always unfold the props. Have yet to crash or land hard. 1st picture is how i shipped it, the other was their pic. Sent me a code about installing the battery improperly and i had to pay. I have 2 replacements but am getting comfortable now and figure more dramatic crashes will follow so i paid out of pocket.
