I had been flying all day at the same location . I couldn't of been more comfortable . I had landed and replaced a battery , and was ready to get back up in the air .
In sport mode i was meaning to full throttle Up ("Left Stick") I full throttled Forward ("Right Stick")
At full speed I hit a padio umbrella and crashed inches from a man-made Waterfall .
So
SO SO Lucky
lucky it didnt go in the water




I gotta hand it
to the
DJI
They made a very tough (TUFF) craft !
I Replaced 3 props and had it back in the air with-in minutes

DJI has made a wonderfully well built product in your Mavic Air . I'm not seeking  assistants but I am seeking to assist.
  Always be aware of your every move at all times . Never relax to the point you make silly mistakes .
(2) The Mavic Air is a very resilient , well built UAV / flying camera .

I'm not sure what they mean with that.
Usually the critical mass is when things start to shift. But how that relates to AI?

I've been saying for people to fly in 3rd person first a lot before flying in 1st.

Thanks   

Pleased it was only a couple of props that broke,  Its so easily done to push the wrong stick.

Lucky escape with the water ! Yes the Mavic Air is probably the toughest drone, all you really might damage are the motors and the rear arm joints, even then it should still fly, it's pretty rare to see one damaged more than that.

Roy Rogers Posted at 11-4 03:01
Thanks

You and others need to fly as if the camera doesn't exist.  Gentle on the sticks when starting to understand stick movement and aircraft orientation.

Yeah the water would have fried it .
The Mavic Air is really well built with the camera being resisted it gives it some protection

Inches from the water? that would have been a different story.  Glad it was all good.
