So I was flying around and I crashed into railing on a balcony, and I got these cracks, so please could someone tell me if this will effect flying normally?
Sorry, I am a beginner

I would super glue it or buy a epoxy for plastic to stop cracking should be fine after that
 
you can mix super gjue with baking soda will make it hard as a rock
 
You should fix it before flying else crack will grow.
 
It won't affect the way it flies. Stop the crack with some glue and fly on. My Standard looks like that.
 
You know the top half can be bought for $30 and replaced in 30m by a beginner. However something you might do is, buy the prop guards, the ones that have that part you screw down to connect the guard too? Or, for like $10 you could by those little deals that are to strengthen the arm ends, basically a flange that add some heft and keep the crack from opening. I'd buy the top, I have a bottom I never needed still sitting here.

Replacing the shell gives you the same odds for cracking.

UVA bits, IMO, don't add strength because they use the same screw threads. It can act like a big washer but that's not where most of the cracks happen.

Super glue with some kind of resin will work. I like Q-Bond.
