Mine was the exact same. Flying fine, and then noticed some cracks. Luckily I do pre-flight checks all the time. I am pretty sure you'll be happy with their service. All the best :)

Hi Mario, Mine was sent via FedEx as well, and it too went to Carson, CA. I believe all repairs are done there. The phantom looks brand new again.... as it should :) In other words, they really did put a new shell on, as promised. As for the stickers, they actually replaced mine, and they...

Hi Everyone, I thought I should share my experience with a cracked P3A shell that surfaced after only 20 flights. I called DJI and told them about the cracks and they sent me an e-mail with instructions on how to pack my item for repair. The customer service rep was professional, friendly, and...

which product?

Thank you! :)

Hi guys - I'm sending my P3A in for repair as well since it has 2 cracks on the 2 rear arms. Just a couple of questions: 1) DJI will more than likely replace the shell... Are the new shells proven to be stronger? 2) If I buy the strong arm kit (the one shown in the first post of this thread)...

Thank you for your input :) I would normally be tempted to do that... but my fear is that if something goes wrong, that DJI will turn around and say "well, you shouldn't of flown it". Its rainy season here anyways so not too much flying time is lost :)

Woooh! Are you serious? That's a lot!

You hit the nail on the head... it's happening to too many people. Given how much we're paying for these things... it should be a rare occurance (if that). Now I'm trying to get a hold of the support team, but I guess they are done for the day. The night just keeps getting better and better...

I honestly don't know. Mine was purchased in June... didn't get it till late july... and it doesn't have too many flights on it. No crashes and well maintained, so this has me baffled.

That may be true.... but honestly, that's totally on DJI. I can't have my phantom fall out of the sky cause the screws are too tight. (Sorry, not trying to shoot the messenger or anything... just venting that this could happen after so few flights).

Hi - I do a thorough check of the airframe every 4-5 flights and I just noticed 2 cracks, similar to the one you have shown. Were you able to get this matter resolved?

@RedHotPoker - Well said! Thanks again and happy flying... and landings :)

@GadgetGuy - Thank you very much for the informative post. Do you land at 25% solely because of the landing lights? What would you have landed at if the colors remained green/red?

@RedHotPoker - Thanks for clarifying. You may have just saved my batteries from being overworked. I really thought dropping them down to ~10% would be fine (as proposed by an earlier post). I'll be more careful now that I know what is good practice with the batteries. May I ask what battery %...
