I just got my P3S back from having the shell replaced for the second time due to stress cracks and I'm wondering if I should get a set of those UAV Bits Strong Arm reinforcement plates. There are a bunch of threads on here with differing opinions about them. Some people say they seem to help. while others say that they don't do any good at all.
The first time I sent it in to have the lower shell replaced they did it free of charge, but this time it cost me $80+ so I really don't want to get any cracks on this new shell. I've always flown it moderately with the braking turned down and have never crashed it, so I can't imagine that it's due to user error.
Is there any "risk" involved with using the Strong Arms? My main concern would be over tightening the screws. Do most people who install them before cracks appear usually have good luck with them?
Are there any other viable options for preventing stress cracks? I see two other brands of reinforcement plates listed on PhantomHelp, but the UAV Bits ones seem to be the most popular.
There's always the chance that this new shell won't have the cracking issue, but I'd rather not risk it.
