I have a P4 Pro with low use. Never a hard landing. Never crashed. Never caried by one of the arms, no rough treatment at all.
However, this P4 Pro has developed a cracked arm on the underside between the vent and the screw hole (near the prop). See attached picture below.
Is this a common issue? I know there used to be a lot of complaints about brittle plastic in the controllers, but I didn't know if this extended to problems with the P4's plastic shells as well?
Edit: Actually 3 of the 4 arms are cracked after closer inspection... Just on the bottom shell and in the same place as the first one I noticed. The other 2 are just not as noticeable...yet. Off to service it went...
Edit2: Here is anorther example of the same issue when I searched for 'stress crack': Stress Cracks in 5 week old P4P . There are plenty of others. How to Stop P4 Stress Cracks, Phantom 4 stress crack!, Small crack upper shell front left arm near motor, Crack on frame P4P, P4 motor mount fatigue crack after 6.5 hours of airtime, Landing gear-Around motor stress cracks, Totally Unacceptable - Cracked Shell, Hairline shell crack P4, Big crack - 3 day old phantom 4, etc.
