If it was simply cold weather, every Phantom flown in sufficiently cold conditions would have cracked but they haven't.
And some in warm climates have.
The key to understanding the cause is that it only affects a very small number and there is no common factor.
Most of the explanations proposed (tight screws, braking settings, poor shell design, hard flying, heat, cold etc) are unable to explain what has been observed.
ABS is a very strong and resilient plastic which should easily be able to supply the strength required and for most Phantoms it works perfectly and never cracks.
The only explanation that fits the observations is the use of sub-standard material or moulding technique in a few batches. |
