I can confirm that the Rebel 220 is a very durable frame indeed!
As we all know, trying to land with an FPV setup is challenging to say the least. A combination of a very small landing zone surrounded by trees, wind and my misjudgement led to my Rebel crashing into a tiled patio and then a wooden window shutter at a speed that was high enough to leave a significant dent in the wood from the arm of the quad!
Turn your volume down before clicking 'Play'!
Damage to the quad was limited to a slight bend in the upper plate and FPV camera support, both of which will bend back to the original shape. It also broke a solder joint where the ground wire to my Smart Audio/microphone interface was attached to the flight controller. I don't have the tools I need to get it back into the air with me, so the Rebel is grounded until I return to Sweden.
So, not only is the Rebel 220 one very good looking and light quad, it's also just as durable as the all metal frame would suggest!
