Shell Cracked While Sitting In Car

[ddh1313]

Well add another tick mark to the list for P3 shell cracks and this one even has a twist. It just so happens I was considering stopping to fly on my way in to work this morning and did a quick preflights look over at the house. I am especially attentive to the areas around the motors precisely because of the forums and there were no issues (100% sure). Long story short I didn't fly and instead left it safely stored on my passenger seat in the original cardboard packaging insert that it came with. 4 hours later I did the preflight to fly over lunch break and there it is. A crack on the 2 inner set of screws, not the 4 motor mounts. Granted it was hot in the car but I would not have expected this.

I guess you know the drill by now. But, you can send your Phantom into DJI to get it fixed under warranty or replace the shell on your own dime.

How hot was it outside ?

Mid 80s. It probably wasn't the best idea but I think it further validates those that have been highly skeptical that their piloting had anything to do with the issue.

I really wish someone would design a better shell that we could just switch everything over to and never have to worry about these cracks again....

All right, well as long as the arm doesn't crack and fall off while it's sitting on the kitchen table I'll be there.

[Sorry I'm frustrated]

Lol yes I remember being savaged when I suggested that!
Screws too tight - shell expands - simple!

 

[Wibble]

Thicker shell

Slacken off the screws would also help!

Super glue will not work.
I had a similar crack develop for no reason. I Used plast-aid by filling the quads arms. Now the arms are rock solid and no worries about cracks or motors falling off

super glue time
