Someday Finally Got Here
I'm flying the F 450 quad. Everything is going well, way beyond my expectations and experience.
In the 6 weeks that I've been flying the quad I've lost two arms due to their breaking on landings. First was a fairly hard landing in 4" tall grass. It landed and immediately flipped over an landed on its props. Didn't break a prop. One arm broke near the motor.
The next one was more of a horizontal slam into a wooden fence about a foot off the ground. Again, not all that hard, didn't break a prop again. But the arm broke in much the same place....both were the white arms.
I've watched videos of someone trying to break an arm by throwing it hard onto a concrete floor over and over again. Way harder than any landings (controlled crashes?) that I've had.
Anyone else have a similar experience with the breaking of the arms in situations that really shouldn't cause that?
