It's possibly coming here as well! Latest from the CAA web site.

Another option is to make your own packs. You will need a reasonable wattage soldering iron (100W) for the thick wires, heat shrink 6mm and 3mm i think, 12 AWG silicon wire and 20 AWG for flying charging lead. Both my batteries went, one causing a bit of a crash due to high cell resistance...

I was thinking posting the parts or maybe someone reading this in the UK who may have some broken parts. I've just taken the top off my drone to look. To get enough info I would need to drill out rivets and remove more parts, I really don't want to risk damaging anything. So without my drone...

I'm unsure as to the design of the holder without striping it down. I spent 12 years on lathes and milling machines and have access to machines so this maybe a possibility one we have a design.

I will have to have a close look at my drone when I get back home to see if I can measure up without striping it down to much. Unless someone can send me some broken bits I can copy.

OK It would be good to get the hinge plus it would be really good to get both motor ends so they are modeled up ready for print should anyone need a part.

I was assuming the clips were OK. Do you have a link to the replacement clips to see costs etc? Part of my day job is reverse engineering springs and other engineered components and getting them made, maybe the clips could be reversed engineered as well.

Thanks Vaklin. So the motor holders are different, that's good to know if we need to design these. Do you know if the hinge ends all the same?

Just eyeballing at my drone (still on holiday so don't have my kit here), the hinge end looks identical for both 'A' and 'B'. I suspect the only difference is the motor direction of rotation. The carbon fibre tube looks standard and available on Amazon or reuse the tubes you have if they are OK...

Possibly. I’m on holiday at the moment so no access to CAD or measuring equipment. That said I could do with a sample. Maybe I’ll have a look at the STL @WTFDproject suggested. Bit reluctant to strip down my drone when it’s not broken. I’ll look tomorrow to see if it’s printable. Is it just...

Not Sure if its useful, I've made STL's for the leg 'T' bracket and a pin to replace the plastic rivets (attached). Printed in Carbon Fibre filled Nylon, they are really strong. Wonder if its worth starting a Mod's thread where we can stick STL's and other mods? Currently working on battery...

Had the same yesterday with the video stream breaking up with the drone 50m away. As above broken screen on the coax at the solder joint. Followed the strip back 3mm, wrap some copper strands around upto the existing joint and re-solder instructions above. Done a walk test and it seems quote...

Thanks @WTFDproject I didn't think of trying binding in the Android environment. It took me about 5 mins to get the password in! I've also had half a keyboard, not sure the setting difference which creates half a keyboard or a keyboard fading. I think were all fixed for now. Off researching...

Managed to get into the calibration and completed all the calibrations ect. I've attached a vid of the keyboard appearing, just about showing, then despairing with the background image fade in / out. I've worked out the histogram, gridlines, centre point need to be off before attempting to...

Thanks All for your help, Flew for the first time yesterday in auto. A bit of a hickup where it started to rock in whilst in flight and it came down in a bit of a controlled crash. Both brackets broke in the T bar legs, 3D printer is working on the replacements as I type. I put that to not...
