I thought it'd be worth having a poll to gauge the number of pilots who've had issues with their shell cracking.

Moderators, I've searched and couldn't find any poll on this subject but if I've missed it, please delete and point me to the poll please.
 
Trouble is as you know ... how many owners frequent this or any other site ? I would suggest there are more non forum owners than there are forum ones ...

Its like an election poll ... ask the right question - get the desired ...

Wishing luck ... but I think it will move to one side giving impression of majority and then like many polls on forums start to slide back again ...

Here's a post I made on another site to try and get votes :

"POLL - Who's cracked and who's not

Go over and vote ...

I am not asking or expecting which way you vote ... just that you do ...

Nigel"

Note I have not tried to influence or guide any vote ... just trying to get more people on to it ... whichever way it goes.
 
Although my P3P hasn't cracked, I put strongarm braces on mine to help spread the vibration over a larger area under the motors. The prop guard clip in this area will help as an alternative.

My P3A has a hairline crack on two arms. Never crashed and fairly mild flying compared to my other quads.
 
Just one small crack at the lower left hand side of the battery compartment. Locktite 420 three times and now it has been holding for over 2M feet.
 
Of my 3 Phantom3 aircraft (1 Standrad and 2 Pro) only 1 has shown any cracks. Well outside of warranty and I filled them with As-Seen-On-TV LED Cured Glue and they stopped and no more have developed. I do want to say I have not taken it apart and looking internally as there could be more inside but if I don't see them they don't count right?

Right! LOL
 
Just spotted a small crack Saturday. It is one of the screws behind the motor. I think it holds the top and bottom shell together. Still under warranty.
 
I've found and repaired cracks in the arms under the motors on both my P3S and P34k
 
No cracks on mine. Even when I crashed 3 times. The main crash from 90" cracked the shell and snapped the camera off.... But still no stress cracks where the screws are lol

Irony
 
Cracks showed up on mine after flying in strong winds, gutted, got a spare body just in case they get any worse.
 
No cracks, as far as I know.
