What are your thoughts on "breaking in" a new battery? I bought a new UltraX battery and have read doing a handful of charge/discharge cycles are good for the battery. Have also read it's pointless.

So about a month ago I crashed my H pushing the watch me mode too hard, it got under a canopy of 2 trees and mingled with some branches. The crash claimed 4 props, 4 arm latches, an arm (motor base broke), 2 motors, and an landing gear module. I have replaced everything except the module...

Id consider that but the piece is missing.

Alright, so the last part left to repair is one of the landing gear motors. I took the motor apart and revealed the part that connect the leg to the actuatoris broke. This piece is attaches by a screw. So my question is can this part be replaced or do I have to buy a new motor? TIA

.....aaaand I'm a dumbass. The way the screws were milled and the lighting I had made them look tampered. A full week of being perturbed for nothing...lol

I am positive

Yeah, I don't why the screws are tamper proof. Just the way it is with me, nothing can be easy. So my options are to continue looking for tamper proof Hex 1.5 with a small enough shaft to reach do into the hole, or find a way to snap the peg of the screws

Can anyone at least confirm the size I need is 1.5mm?

Even called local electical store

This is F'n ridiculous! Called my local hobby store, no dice. Everyone I talk to has no idea what Im talking about.

They are tamper proof hex. And no, both Lowes and Home Depot dont have ones with a skinny enough shaft to get all the way down the screw hole

Ive received my 2 motors and arm latches for the repair, but I dont have what I believe to be the #1.5 security hex needed to pull the shell off. The only onw i can find here in town and online have 1/4 inch shafts and wont fit in hole. Anyone have a link to a site that has the one i need?

Imagine getting like 5 typhoon pilots out in a field having attached a wizard on the H in front of them. One controls the lead H while the tail H records.

Great info guys. I ended up going with the ones on Amazon for $30. I just couldnt chance my drone being destroyed over a matter of $20. I also got a replacement motor for $28. The arm latches had to be ordered from Vertigo Drones, so unfortunately its gonna be a couple weeks before im flying again.

I cant get my windows media player to play dng files
