Phantom 4 stress crack

Here is a link to a question I had posted on the DJI site. P4 is this a crack?

I couldn't get a good look at your picture to see the concern. Try shining a flashlight under the arm like I did to get a potentially clearer view.

Great point. Here is a pic both front arms. Looks like both are cracking. Rear arms don't have any cracks.

I'm no expert but, if you read the above threads and such the belief is that this is a mold mark and not a crack. If you read the link I attached above the opinion of the DJI id from the DJI forum is that this is fine. I'm just repeating information. I have the same mold markings on my P4 on the front 2 arms. One marking goes to the left and the other to the right. I don't like it but, it is what it is. I continue to keep and eye on it after each flight.

We should just take it apart and find out. Everyone is speculating and EVERY P4 I've seen has this same line

I just looked and have the same marks, same way, on front arms. Looking at this I believe it is a molding and not a crack but will watch it. Also, the rear would most likely crack before the front, the two motors in the back do work just a little harder on forward flights
