Only 8 flights, left rear leg stop is cracking with unstable flight

This must be a design flaw, and a really critical one! I bought Refresh so I guess I should send it in for the 1st time. I was really looking forward to flying a lot more before sending it in for Refresh. [emoji174]

I do live in a very windy location and I've practiced a lot of RTH landings to get comfortable with it. That's about all I can attribute the wear to as I haven't seen many reports with this aside from accidents.

Who did you buy it from? Maybe a refurb. Ive never seen one crack if it hasnt been crashed.

I think you’ve got a screw loose.

Got it from Amazon from a seemingly reputable dealer and ranked very high. I checked the S/N and it has a build date in June '17 and purchased September 1st. I noticed my FlyMore kit wasn't like any of the unboxings I've seen and was all put into the Mavic bag, it didn't come in multiple boxes. It all looked legit and brand new with factory wrapping though.

I thought I inspected it thoroughly, but this being my 1st UAV I could've missed it.

They're all snug, I checked.

I would return it. I have opened many a FM, and all the items were in individual boxes. Sounds like someone threw together a FM for you. Not OEM DJI packaging.
