Never Crashed Survey

Jake Galloway · Aug 4, 2017

Just over 250 miles in total flight distance without any crashes.

GerdS · Aug 4, 2017

Not a single crash since December and more than 50 hours flight time.
Only "accidents":
- A rear propeller stroke a stone after landing, just a scratch on propeller
- A propeller cut a quite thin branch when flying under a tree, no damage.

I received mine in November and did one initial Compass calibration. Since then I have had hundreds of flights without a crash. The thing is rock solid.

450 active flights, 66 hours, 1200km, all props, batteries etc. still original and no crash!

I own two types of aircraft - the one's that I haven't crashed, and the one's that I've crashed! Fortunately, I've never crashed my Mavic Pro

Flying since May, dozens of flights; no crashes. Seems a silly question -- why would a Mavic crash?

fractalhorizon · Aug 5, 2017

Over 70km follown since October. No crashes.

Julioego · Aug 5, 2017

6 months and no crash. Original propellers also.

Never

Lots of hours and no crashes. Even handed the controller to a twitchy 12yr old once (never had been exposed to electronic games or RC flight) and he didn't crash it.

All these pilots must be hugging a tree. (Knock on wood). A crash is even as simple as it tipping over on its side during landing.

I've flipped on first flight and once or twice on landing with a couple builds, but never have crashed a DJI. Have a P3S and the Mavic. Usually it's a retarded build or programming/tuning issue.

Speaking of hugging trees, I did tip prune a tulip poplar with a ZMR250 once. Spun me around and was mere luck that I regained control. I did most of my crashing on simulators, lol.

Hasn't happened to me. Even manual landings after the RC reported 'not safe to land' have been incident-free. Actually quite hard to see how the drone could 'tip onto its side' unless it had been modified in some way.
