Hi Guys,
New and inexperienced pilot of a P3A.
I have just bought a used Phantom from a good friend, its 6 months old and immaculate condition with very little flight time. I'm over the moon with it, even though i haven't used it yet!
I then start reading stories of body stress cracks around the the motors! This apparently is a common issue with the P3. When i read further, a few Guys said it was due to 'hard flying', or the speed in which is generated from the fast Sport mode.I then find out you can buy small Aluminium plates that fit under the motors to prevent this or help with damaged and cracks already caused.
Are DJI addressing this design issue? Its appalling really for such an expensive hi tech item.
Also, if you cant fly in the exciting Sport Mode because it may crack the body shell then whats the point of this mode at all??...I'm hoping it doesnt come to this???
Obviously i will start in P mode to get used to flying in general first.
Any thought or info much appreciated.
