Crashed from. On pilot error. GPS had randomly dropped from full bars to none.  I know people say that when it crashes everyone tries to blame the company but this is for real

On April 17 I submitted a thread how perfect my Inspire-1 was functioning while generating video for a movie about Foz do Iguacu in Brasil. Unfortunately yesterday My Inspire-1 just crashed. Before flying I performed all the pre-flight requirements and everything seems perfect. Aircraft and TX have latest firmware. After the crash the logfile told me the following: Inspire-1 height 50 feet, I had a visual, distance was 150 feet, GPS full bars, aircraft battery 98%. At the moment of the crash NO trottle activity and a very slight rudder activity.The Inspire-1 fell first on a roof of a house and ended up in the front yard. Front right arm broken, gimble broken in pieces. several propellers broken and some scratches on the top housing.   Before flying I checked the 4 motors for any abnormalities but they were fine. After the crash, the front right motor is having some problem, it could be a bearing (could that be the reason of the crash) or the motor got damaged due to the crash.
As soon as I am back in the USA the Inspire-1 goes to DJI for repair.

After 200 + successful flights had two uncontrollable take offs, both very strange osculating pattern of flight and the second one resulted in an completely uncontrollable aircraft that eventually darted in an direction for about 60 meters on a downward slop and hitting a pine tree and crashing to the pavement.  Sent back to DJI 1 week ago, Fedex tracking says it arrived at DJI (California) last Friday.  Bought a second Inspire while waiting for repair/replacement?  Hope that doesn't come back to haunt me.

No worries.
Glad that your bird is flying well.
Please do me a favor.  Not an attempt to jinx,just a request of a favor.    If that bird does have a Non Pilot related crash, please post here.
I may be going about it the wrong way but I am trying to gather info.                          Thanx a Million!

I have crashed mine very hard once. I was flying, a little windy, and hit a pole, the only pole around. Fell 8 feet to the cement and was sent in for repair. I cracked one of the upper tubes. Had to be replaced.

Or maybe its because the Inspire 1 is a buggy piece of equipment that was rushed to the market.
