Hi ,
This will be my last post regarding this particular "Reliability" issues. After all it is a matter of statistics. I never heard about mikrokopter FC 2 board (the one posted in photo) having such issues you posted. You can have a look in German forums.
However, in ALL forums related to R/C are thousands of postings about VIBRATION especially the ones related to multi-copters. But none of them I seen so far discussing about 10-20KV accidental discharging. We can discuss about shielding against solar flares. The point is how often things like that happens. If for example AQ will be sold in 50,000 pieces it might happen that few to be damaged by ESD. And again if the autopilot have dampers as it should (by myself I use ZEAL) how can be possible to damage the pads from vibration? I am talking only about the autopilot connected inside multi-copter frame, not cell-phones or any other electronic stuff or any other different environment.
Btw, did you seen that small video-clip of the mikrokopter with FC20 and RED EPIC $$$$ camera?
Cheers,
Sergiu
