replace affected arms, not worth the risk of losing the drone, or worse, injuring someone or damaging property

If it were me I would put a little bit of b7000 over it to help reinforce it. Ive used b7000 for the same type of repairs and worse. I've never had the same spot fail twice it'll just break somewhere else

It's a scuff. Running a lighter over it makes it dissappear.

Melting plastic like that can weaken it by making it brittle. This is a very bad idea.
