New Member Saying Hi and a Quick Question

[LeonW]

Hi everyone,

Yet another new member, I've lurked for a while and found this forum very informative!

I have a new phantom with around 30 flights (nice big field behind my house). I noticed the arm stickers on one arm (the left hand side as you look at the bird face on) are twisted, as though the arm itself must be twisting during flight? Please take a look and let me know your thoughts. Could the arm have a weakness which the motor twists under load?

I've just changed out the stickers for new ones to test and rule out poorly fitted stickers. I'll let you know how this goes..

Just seems strange to only happen on one arm...

It's just cheap, thin stickers poorly fitted.
Just try to twist the case for yourself and you'll see how stiff it is.
It's designed to be rigid - and it is.

Hi Meta4, thanks for your reply. All thats got me thinking is they weren't twisted when I first umboxed the bird that's why I'm concerned.
