I am about 10 months into a 2 year care refresh agreement. (never have used it) I have discovered small cracks under the front arm hinges. I have heard of stress cracks on top. That is why from day one of ownership I have always used two hands to change the battery. Supporting it underneath with one hand, battery in the other. I also hand launch/catch the AC 98% of the time. So, should I use care refresh now or wait and watch cracks? Front legs feel very solid/no play in hinges. (this check is included in my pre-flight)

TIA.

I would wait. Looks more cosmetic than dangerous. I’ve flown with much worse than that but didn’t have refresh either. A lot of comfort having refresh, save it for something serious.
