Repairing cracked prop support on Breeze

[Bravescoach]

Is there a way to repair a crack in the prop support, or is this toast now. Is there a certain glue that would hold this or? My concern is glueing it and then having it 300ft in the air and it lets loose and comes crashing to the ground. Anyone have experience with this kind of crack? Thanks

No, I just posted about my experience, I did not ask about any repairs options in the first post because I didn’t think there probably was any.

So Ive been mulling on this in my sleep.
You have a few issue?
Location of the crack, not good!
Even if you could repair it with some type of adhesive, it is prone to re-crack. Given this is an area where most of the vibration takes place.
At best it will be a temporary fix.
If you decide to use some other method, such as small amount of fiber or what ever, (inside and out) you would need to do the same to the opposite side in order to counter balance. Maintain (COG)

Ok thanks. Do you know if replacing the body is hard to do. I see they sell the shell, but am not a tech guy so probably would mess it up, unless it is easy to do.

I'm going to refer you to @DoomMeister. He is the brain when it comes to the breeze.

The weight difference between using a bit of glue on one side and flight issues is basically nil. I've done a ton of testing with lights and batteries unbalancing the breeze in a LOT of different ways and the onboard sensors/electronics can easy handle grams of difference and 10s of grams if the imbalance is in the main body. Ive even seen the breeze lift 101g of extra weight of a 2200mAh battery during my larger capacity battery tests.

The simple repair would be electrical tape over the area extending a few cm past the crack. If you are concerned about balance, put a similar amount on the contralateral arm. If you are really anal, put a similar amount on all the arms.
