"Thanks, Peter! :)"
"Maybe I am blind, but can someone please tell me the material thickness of the aluminium arms used in the 3DR frame? I can't find it in the dimensions PDF. Also confused a bit about non-european measurement. :)
Sorry for possibly asking a stupid…"

"IMHO the arms provided by official ArduCopter kit are a bit too fragile. After dismantling the whole copter I saw that the arms have some dents and bending from some other light crashes before and from tightening screws too strong. I don't blame…"
"Here's another shot of the arm which I suspect to be the reason for the crash. Do you see those marks? I'm sure they are by a freely spinning motor and prop. It rotates clockwise on this arm so everything makes sense.

"I just disassembled what was possible. Had to use a cutter many times. Here's a picture of the outer endings of the arms. One can see much bending and cracking here which supports my theory.
What a bad idea to mount motors like this! :-(

"Hi guys, your comments helped me a lot in finding a clue on how this all could happen. So this is the final crash report.
First I need to state: It's all my fault. After many broken acrylic motor mounts I decided to attach the motors directly on…"

Hi guys,I really enjoy hiking, but I do not when my little copter is hiding somewhere out there... in pieces. After many successful flights today I ended up picking up smashed parts again.Now I need your help. It would be great if someone (with more…
"I'm using Jakub's GoPro mount with good results. Build quality is fantastic. Will probably also work for small compact cameras."
"Hi girls and guys,
this time I have good news! My Hexacopter now seems to fly stable and reliable. No crash for the last ten batteries! Thanks a lot to the contributors for all the effort you put into this project and also a big thanks to the…"

"Hi guys, it's me again. I just had another maiden flight with my hexa and - as some of you might already guess - again it ended in a catastrophic crash. After 8 minutes of a really smooth flight in perfect weather conditions the copter suddenly…"
"Nothing to add to the words of my previous speaker. I became a loyal customer because of that reasons. :)"
"Maybe I am wrong, but if you have a look at the picture it seems that there was some kind of crack first which became deeper and deeper until the whole prop broke. What do you think?
Personally, I think I need a break now. I spent pretty much time…"

Hi guys,after my quad played Titanic last sunday, I was able to rebuild it in a very short time due to exceptional good service from Martin. In need for more payload I also extended to a hexa using standard parts from jdrones.Now my question is: Are…
"Hi all,
due to a mixture of ignorance, stupidity and overestimation of one's capabilities I lost my Arducopter on a FPV flight. See picture of how I found it hours later, two ESCs still beeping. Surprisingly (for me), corrosion already started…"
