Mine just arrived in California for the same thing.What to expect now.
It is a weird thing why some shells crack and others not. My phantom has 4 months, about 100 flies and always hand catched. This is the only stress crack until now.Mines flipped and landed upside down twice, once on a tiled floor and once on tarmac, yesterday I crashed big time, I've sustained some minor damage but checked the shell today and it's as good as new, not a mark and still no cracks
Lol, okay. Do a search on cracks. If it gets worse a motor can fly off mid flight. I think two different people have posted that happening to them because they thought nothing would happen.not true, you can fly it, its not structural damage that will cause an issue.
Its cosmetic. Actually many people don't even repair it
I am in the same boat, about three months old and less than 100 flights, I think 89. Hand catch, no hard landings, no crashes. Always in the fitted case. Out of the blue, cracks around one arm.It is a weird thing why some shells crack and others not. My phantom has 4 months, about 100 flies and always hand catched.

My cracks are on top of one of the arms, even with the cracks being there, that arm was a lot more flexible than the other three. The whole body, when screwed together form a unified structure. When part of that structure gets cracks it becomes a weak point. So the results of forward flying, stopping, going, stopping, will just make things worse until something fails. Then you will have wished you didn't fly it.
But, you live and learn.

really?? lol, I'd love to see those threads, that stress cracks enabled the engines to come loose.
Like I've said, I've seen tons of threads with people having stress cracks, doing nothing about it, maybe putting on some braces to prevent other ones.
Also most people don't even notice the cracks, as someone who's looked at many used ones, I'd say everyone of the Phantom 3's I looked at had stress cracks .
There you go. Enjoyreally?? lol, I'd love to see those threads, that stress cracks enabled the engines to come loose.
