Hi everyone,
I hope all of you had a good flight today and nobody of you lost his valuable copter due to any hardware or firmware issues.
Almost on daily basis there are people reporting bad news of copters not working as expected, pilots loosing control or even crashing.
For sure there are many reasons for a crash be it hardware or software faults or even incompatibilities between the equipment used.
Currently there is a big discussion on the german FPV Forum about using PPM receivers, DJI made some statements that they did never tested any receivers like Jeti or Graupner / JR in PPM mode and they recommending to use Futaba only. Some dealers started already to alert customers not to use PPM receivers but only traditional receivers.
Many people who have been using PPM receivers have real doubts now to continue using their PPM receivers and risk a crash or the loss of the copter.
As usual there are a lot of rumors but not many facts available.
I've tried to create a survey to capture recent copter configurations.
The purpose of the survey is to evaluate if there are clear correlations and incompatibilities between certain RC equipment and DJI multicopter controllers.
This survey is used to capture crashes or incidents with copters due to the loss of control by the pilot.
Situations which has been caused by faulty hardware related to: motor, ESC, prop, battery or any other fault not related to the compatibility of the RC equipment should not be recorded here.
Basically we try to capture those incidents when it was not possible for the pilot to control the copter with the transmitter, regardless if the copter crashed, flied away or if he was lucky to land it safely after the incident.
If you did not had any crash or any problem till now, please still respond to the survey to confirm the positive experience with your setup.
This is the link to the survey:

Thank you for participation!
