This. When used correctly they spread the force of the screws across the flat bottom portion of the shell, rather than being exerted directly on the shell in the weaker, recessed screw holes.If the screws are not pressed against the shell and cannot cause it to crack, then perhaps they would do something. No?
That makes sense. I guess all it really does then is prevent the screws from pulling through the shell.Put 4 fingers of one hand into the palm of your other hand, separated by an inch or so. Now wiggle your hands in different directions and your fingers give. Now set your palms together and move your hands. There is far less independent movement with palm to palm contact.
Which is how the motors separate from the mount when in flight-- the screws are pull out of the shell. With the plates or prop guard mounts, the screws cannot be pulled out. So, I would think that is a significant safeguard against a motor coming out which has already been reported in the forum.That makes sense.

Agreed. If you already have cracks though, then these reinforcements might not be so useful. It seems they might be most effective if installed before the cracks start.So, I would think that is a significant safeguard against a motor coming out which has already been reported in the forum.
True-- I have had the propguard mounts on mine since the first week-- haven't removed them to check for cracks-- maybe I will do that this week.Agreed.

Given that reinforcement plate draws the motor into the frame and "sandwiches" it I think you would have a decent chance of landing the phantom if there were cracks completely around the motor. The puzzle piece nature of the cracking will prevent rotation and the motor will not be allowed to travel upward.If the seperation happens you will still crash though
