Great Advice NRRTRAINS. I have started the process. Lots of pics being taken. Organizing screws as they come out, labeling things. Takes patience for sure.

Thanks for the insight NRRTRAINS :) These are the kinds of details that NOOB's need to know. Much appreciated. Repair tools and spares are in town (per all the order tracking info) and I should have them in my hands by tomorrow (again per tracking). Look for a thread in the help section where...

Thanks Thomas - Parts are inbound, I'm excited about getting Phoenix in the air. Up until the propeller flew off, I was enjoying flying. Had some very positive impressions of this bird. Stopped by a local hobby shop and spoke to the owner who has a Q500. He spoke very highly of these birds and...

Thanks Thomas - I'm going to place it back into the ST10+ and see if it can be accessed through that device. If not, it's going to be reformatted (fat32) and retested. There is a lot of great info on this board which I'm only just beginning to tap. Repair spares are already shipped. I will post...

Thanks Steve. I’m pulling night shift at work and don’t have a lot of access right now. Interesting point about motor thread depth. New motors seem by appearance to have a greater length of shaft threaded. I willl look at this tomorrow in detail. The gimble pic is attached. I used the...

Steve, Thanks for the response. O-rings were in place. I ran the blades all down by hand and snugged, holding the motor housing. My wife was out in the field watching the flying. She said one propeller spun up of one arm and lofted like a helicopter. The same time this occurred, I was in the...

Hello All, I received a Q500 4K for Christmas. Set things up per quick start. Wound up with a prop that was not tight enough. The Q (now named Phoenix) through off a blade about 12 ft. off the ground. With only 3 props, Phoenix inverted and augured into the ground. The CGO3 split off the gimble...
