After a baby crash into a field (mud) the front arm is delaminated like puff pastry.
Nearly every layer of carbon came off.

Is it a quality problem of the carbon or are the 4mm too weak?
Or both?

With 5 mm arms the screws would fit again :-) 2 + 5 + 3 = 10

I had no issues with the V3.

Replaced the original 4 mm arms with 5 mm arms. (thanks Kai for cutting)
Now the quad flies like a charm.
No torsion and bending of the arms any more.
The vibrations and oscillations are gone.

This cool frame resonance analysis of the S1 V4 shows why it flies better with thicker/stiffer arms.
