First of all you figure out how to collect accurate data on these minor crashes. Without accuracy all your going to collect is barn yard doo doo. That's why there are a lists of best practices called the safety code. I takes into account the poor choices that that some will make and fib about. I tries to account for the unknowns.

No response to date.

Understand that you just had a change in zone directors. Reach out to your new director and the safety committee chair as a follow-up.

Generally speaking, I'd say that on an annual basis you'd normally not have to take your socks off even if you started counting with your toes.

If your items caused crashes due to malfunction in the air and this would not include engines quitting as a person could land dead stick. This would be more along the line of electronic failures like transmitter-receiver failures, servos , wiring connections from say vibration and mechanical failures due to fatigue or incorrect assembly at the field.

If you are interested in a certain product go to banggood.com, find the product, go to the bottom of the page and you will find buyers reviews of the product. I purchased a small bind and fly heli off Ebay. I have seven small heli's from 7" to 27". It would not bind to any of the transmitters plus I tried three of my friends and it would not bind to them either. It would be nice to be able to go somewhere for this kind of info. I recently joined Angus Reid Forum and they send out a multiple choice questionnaire once a week. Something like this would probably work. I have four coffee cans full of junk engines. It would have been nice to know the general opinion before I bought them.

Re: MAAC insurance claims

Some very valid points here.

Just a quick update, I was not able to make it to the zone meeting due to work scheduling but I did Email our Zone Director prior to the meeting stating my intention to volunteer for the safety committee. I stated my reasons why and what I would have liked to accomplished as we have discussed on this thread.
