Help...cracks spotted

[Ciccio]

..really frustrating...today's a fantastic blue clean sky day here..it would have been great to film..

I have the same problem only under one motor. And it was recommended by a very reputable guy here to send the bird in to DJI. But like others I'm worried it will be 90 days before I see it again if I'm lucky. I have until June when the warranty runs out to make a command decision. Now I'm leaning toward this plastic aid and protective brackets. But still in limbo.

Phil ive just packed and sent the drone by UPS to the Netherlands. .hope it will reach there by the wend and that they will be able to replace the shell by next week which means that I might get it back just before April.15th....all in all it will be 1 month...this is of course the best case scenario. ..

 

[Ciccio]

In all cases I'm about to order metal plates and the bi-component resin to make sure this will not happen again...

Use plast-aid and you won't need any ugly plates under the arms[emoji106]

I don't know if I'm going to chance that. I think I am going with Sandmana idea. But thanks for responding!

 

[Ciccio]

SANDMAN is this the product you've used to.reinforce the shell?

 

[Phil56]

Now just have to worry about getting the top of the shell off without screwing it up

That's the stuff[emoji106] mix it thin so it will flow good in all the spots before hardening. And tape off the arms and anything around the arms. Once it dries you will have to grind it off if it's somewhere you don't want it.

 

[Ciccio]

Thank you Sandman please clarify the need of taping around the arms...

Just to make sure you don't get it anywhere you don't want it. If your careful you'll be fine, I just did it so I wouldn't take any chances. Think of it as taping stuff off before you paint. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be[emoji14]

 

[Ciccio]

Thank you...

I just got back from lowes trying to find that stuff. Looked everywhere and none of the employees knew what I was talking about

 

[Phil56]

Guess I'll try Wally World

I have a P3A that has NEVER seen air, yet, and I have had it for about 1 year!
Just haven't had time to get it in the air, but I am going to use the plast-aid BEFORE I get cracks!
I, too, would like to know if local stores carry it, or is it online only?

I am assuming it will not react with plastic?

Kinda like making a dam?

 

[Phil56]

According to the NET Lowes was suppose to sell it. But no cookie

 

[pomonabill220]

I search online and some pool/spa stores carry it?

 

[Phil56]

Yes pool and spa depot.
