Being that the phantom 3 is product made by DJI It would probably be just as good advise as it is on every other phantom to not fly it in till you have had a chance to open up the shell and actually solder the power wires properly and not have to take chances relying on the soldering job done by 6 year old kids. A wire suddenly coming off in flight is a common cause of them just suddenly going dead and just dropping like a brick. Being that if it were just a ESC or a motor giving out it would still have video feed of a horrific crash as it flips and tumbles to the ground. Tho with out being able to recover the down bird its not going to be to possible to see if a failed solder joint was the case or not.
Bad idea, IMHO.
You do that, and then the P3 crashes. DJI acceptss responibility, and asks you to send them the P3 so they can investigate. They open up the P3 and see YOUR solder work. "Looks like the P3 was opened up and things were resoldered, not by us. Sorry, we will not take any responsibility for this crash." You'll then be crying foul that your P3 crashed and you're out $1300.
