A few things going through my mind whilst reading the previous few posts.
That type of crack possibly is better to have than one on the arms under the motors?? Possibly that position will not be affected as much by wind in flight? Just thinking out loud here.
Also I think the termination drill hole is a great idea. It's basic engineering to stop cracks spreading. Again thinking out loud. If you opened up the shell. Spot drilled it and then filled both the spot drill hole and he crack with epoxy from the inside theoretically I think it would be strong and good to go.
Regarding dji i totally agree if they had some decent competition they would certainly up theor game regarding the cracks, it's a silly problem to have.
Question time. Does anyone know if a crack would actually inhibit flight? I mean yeah a big crack near or under the motors could eventually lead to the motor coming de attached from the bird which would cause a crash, but just a crack in the shell ? Would it still be flight worthy?
