The Best answer to all this is to fit the metal plates BEFORE cracks appear.
Or
To repair and fit plates when first evidence of any crack, now matter how small.
I started seeing the motor cracks after about 50 flights on both my P2V+ and P3S. I have repaired the cracks with both Gorilla glue and JB Weld with no ill-effects. I've not noticed any unbalancing problems or vibration due to the extra
weight of the JB Weld, and the expansion of the cracks have seemed to stop, though a couple of new ones appear now and then. I loosened the motor mount screws and retorqued - a couple were very, very tight, which should also be checked as a cause of the problem. Just keep the glue out of the motor screws. I've had many flights on the repaired P3S since. |
