Phantom P3 not fit for purpose.

Ok, so just checked.
I have these motors (pics below)
However I got a Panasonic SD card and not a Lexar.
I did notice a moulding imperfection (not a crack).
My P3A was such a good flyer, never had any issues apart from the crack.
I miss it already lol
Attachments
Turned active braking down and installed uav bits 6 hole reinforcements. 111 flights 21 hours no sign of cracks.
I took my brake down to 75 (I think, or maybe 70 or 80 lol can't remember)
Is there anything else I should take down?
Also is it very noticeable down to 70 from 100?

I'm curios if those with the new motors (pictured below) have any stress cracks since this is the revised edition of the P3.
P3 now has new motors, Panasonic SD Card, what else?? | DJI Phantom Forum
The p3 will glide for a slightly longer period before becoming stationary when on p-gps mode when you release control on the sticks.
Just do some testing in an open area to get a feel for the reduced braking, for me it's not a big deal and puts less strain/torque on the arms
70-80 sounds good.
The attitude adjusts the response/speed to which the p3 moves, I dialed it down too as I have no need for it to move so quickly (yaw etc) and felt reducing it could benefit the arm issue also
Over 28% of 500 respondents to the cracked shell poll on the DJI forum reported cracks in un-crashed P3s. Getting harder to see this as only a small problem.

Well have you actually looked at your link?
It is a poll asking "Shell Cracks"
Is that really a objective poll?
Really?
What would you expect a poll asking about cracked shells to say?
The point is, it is not a insignificant problem. And for the owners with cracks it devalues their purchase, worries them and is very inconvenient to get fixed even if done for free. Guess who pays the shipping.

Simply looking at it from a scientific view point. Think about it, If someone has cracks of course they will click the YES box almost all will, I would be willing to bet at least 75% without cracks will ignore the whole post and even if they read it they probably still won't take the time and effort to click the NO button, Hell I didn't click anything because I may find cracks tomorrow.
Just saying the poll is not an accurate representation of reality.
So how many other polls are out there and how do they correlate with the poll you refer to? Statistically more accurate, sort of.
The purpose of the poll is not to determine what percentage of all shells sold so far have cracked, but an informal way to gather information to determine how common this issue is, and the poll is serving that purpose.
It makes no difference to me whether I hear; "21.8% of shells sold will crack" or "a significant number of new shells may develop cracks" as long as the problem is recognized and addressed.
Quoting this so OP can see it and realise how wrong his 5% cracking guess actually is.
