Where did you get the "motor plates" you show? I just noticed fine cracks on two of my motor mounts. Very fine now, but worried. - I just searched and found a set in Amazon for $20! I just purchased them.
Hi Bob, these were purchased from E-Bay, make sure you repair the cracks first. I used a little plastic safe epoxy on each of the cracks, then, once dry, fitted the motor plates (I also place a little epoxy under each plate). I was a little dubious at first, but I found dry fitting each plate (just to be sure all lined up correctly before applying the epoxy) - Note: be careful when removing all of the motor screws, as the motor will turn on its mount.
I personally wouldnt fly if I noticed any cracking of the shell (especially around the motor housing), in my opinion with the vibration of the motors / blades, these cracks will only get worse, and based on the fact that I am not an aviation engineer, I would rather keep the bird grounded until repaired, than see it fall from the sky.
I hope all goes well, report back here after you have fitted them |
