Newbie here. Exactly what is a "crash"?

Does a crash involve damage or no?
Is an unplanned landing considered a crash?

I've had numerous unintentional landings both upright and inverted but no damage so far.

Unintended landings with less than ideal control is a crash landing. Generally crashes involve damage, or rolling but not always. It pretty much comes down to your own definition.

Ok, so I guess I crash a lot then, so far no damage. But I am getting better at it. (Flying, not crashing). LOL. Thanks

Hah. Yeah, found that out. Burned a motor with an inverted crash. Way too windy to fly, should've known better.

Yeah, and perfect flying conditions now. Still grounded, I think motors finally left China after travelling a week by ox cart. At least they'll be by horse and buggy once they get to U.S. LOL

You got that right! I get parts in the mail and I have to remember why I ordered them in the first place! We need more American manufacturers of drone parts. Here that millenials????
