I've got a couple hours of flight time on it now. No major crashes but seems durable enough. I mostly use it for flying around in the mountains, at 7-8k feet you need a light rig (especially if you want to freestyle with a gopro). This has been a godsend for me, in combo with the split shift motors It feels more like a 5" toothpick than my other/heavier builds (they are relatively light too).
