I have a theory - unproven as of yet, but seems plausible. With the way the drone is built, the weight rests on the back of the body, and the front is supported by the extended front legs. If you insert the battery with the drone sitting on the ground/table/etc, each time you push down, there's going to be extra force exerted on the front leg mounts.
The first time I took my MA2 out of the bag, I noticed that was something of a potential design/function flaw - I've always held the body of the drone in my hand when snapping the battery in. It wouldn't surprise me that a large number of people simply set the drone down, push the battery in (pushing to make sure the buttons click in place), and over time, get some stress fractures in the housing.
I think it goes beyond just the battery installation. The power button is on the battery as well. Even if holding the drone in hand during battery install, usually normal procedure would have the drone on the ground when turning on with the double press of the power button. Just this simple push of the power button to turn it on/off could be causing stresses on those wing joints. Out of an abundance of caution, I will start powering mine on and off while in my hand as well. |
