Stripped hex screws

[Deleted member 62848]

Hi all did quick search but not find much on this,i replyed to a post today about allen screw size for the 8 main screws under p4,far out they all finger tight with allen key tool but wont tighteen or loosen,never crashed ,only hard knock in past when it fell off bench in a earthquake,could this have broken all plastic inners for screws,still flys sweet but now want to look further,shell not appear to part in any way but it seems only thing holding shell clipped together is the led plastic covers that clip in and out under each motor,,anyone come across this in the past, better get a shell on order incase

Well like everyone on the forum that owns a P4, I just ran and checked mine and they were all tight. I would have figured that if the knock your phantom copped jarred all eight screws loose, your gimbal would have fallen off as well. If it was like that from new, (covered under warranty?) maybe contact DJI and ask the question.

$41 for a shell sounds cheap, hope it's a genuine DJI shell... since you have a couple of spare drones I would milk the warranty. Anyway at least you are are still up in the air, and that's always a good thing
