How About Better Drone Shells

    I love most things about my P4 and am looking forward to getting the pro version. My biggest complaint about the drone is the white color, and am not impressed with the obsidian color either. It's just to easy to lose sight if you look away.
    First: Make the bottom half of the shell a warm color like red, orange, or yellow, that way it contrasts agains blue and white..
    Second: Make the top half transparent so that you can easily see the working components.
    Third: Hinge the 2 halves together so that you can change or repair parts without having to do a complete tear down.
    I couldn't believe how hard it was to change the landing strut on my P4. The Locktite on the connector was so thick I ruined the plug trying to remove it. No drone repair shop would touch it. I sent it to a drone repair shop that I found online in Utah that guaranteed repair and return in less than a week, three months later I got it back. I see no reason why drones can't be engineered so that a guy who knows how to use a frickin screwdriver can fix their own drone.
    Of course, the reason they are so hard to work on is for the after sale repair.

    I like that idea of making the drone transparent, particularly so you can show your kids the inner workings and really explain what makes it work!
