I'd like to know how they get that number as well. I don't have nearly as many hours on DJI drones as some folks do!

Can you post a few pictures of the stress cracks that you've encountered? It would helpful to the community.

WOW and CONGRATS on both ...the 96.6 MPH, and the total traveled distance of over the 2 million ft mark...impressive to say the least
Thank you. I like to shoot video around the mountains. Sometimes the winds can change dramatically. It can make for some heart stopping moments when the drone is getting blown away and I am struggling to get it back. But if you ride the wind you get some super high speeds.
The business part of the motor is brushless so no moving or wearing parts. However the bearings do move (quite fast) so these can wear. They are unlikely to fail catastrophically without warning. It's worth checking each motor after a flying session either by hand or with an IR detector just to check for temperature differences between the motors. The hot one is the one that will probably fail first.

...Baker, I change props every 40hrs due to wear/fatigue of the locking mech and the prop hub/internals, more nfo on this

I own a Flir One camera and it' s a great idea to see what is the temperature of motors after a flight. Once I've done it
It is comforting to see the longevity of service from the Phantoms. I think the Key to the long service life is to Not fly into Stuff.
I guess I can't expect to set any speed records with 96.6 mph out there.
Congratulations.
In the hot Texas sun the only record I have chance with is "Hottest Battery Temp".

Would love to speak to you.. I started a "Conversation"..but can not find where to send you a PM (Personal Mail)... I have started the SOP's with my department (2 year project) and am now "off the ground" with the Drone Unit.. Well, I'm the only pilot so far.. lol... Holler back, would love to talk about how your agency is setting it up..
