Help on H520E. Repair, or sell for Parts?

[Raptortrapper]

I can't seem to locate parts to fix my H520E. Two arms broke at the pivot point, both of them are the same "A" arm I think. Both broke on the same side. So did the carbon arm of the landing gear at the "T" point where it connects to the foot. Camera came disconnected, but I think it was just the little rubber shock absorbers came out of the bracket. The antennae on the same side as the broken arms also got broke, but the arm it attaches to is fine. When I turn the controller on, then turn the H520E on, it goes directly to the SOS beeps, and doesn't connect to the controller. I assume because of the one antennae being smashed. I've contacted several places around the world, and nobody seems to be fixing these anymore. My closest hope was in Australia, but they have gone silent when I told them what drone I had and sent pictures of the damage. Nobody else is touching these.

Are we all on the same road and eventually going to have to quit flying these, or is there hope out there somewhere?? It's the best drone I've ever flown, and I hate to get rid of it, but at this point, if it would benefit one of you guys, I'd be willing to sell it for parts.

Any suggestions???

I have a few parts for it. Not sure if I have everything you need. Did you check on eBay? A seller named Protechsupply?

It is not the same orange color, but this frame should work for you.

All parts from H Plus or H520 could be used for H520E. But there are two different mounting parts for the antennas. The H520E has two antennas on the motor arms. The Coax cable must go through the arms and the motor LED covers on two arms are different for the antenna part. Look for YUNH520E104SVC.

Yeah, I looked on ebay. Can't really find what I need though. I think I have found someone to help me with this though, so should be okay.

I'm just glad you got it worked out.

Yup! Thank you!! It's being worked on right now. Turns out the worst of it is probably a camera replacement. Sounds like the E90X might be toast, so will probably have to get one of those. Other than that, not near as bad as I thought it would be. Still way over my head, but not as bad as I was expecting. The crash was rather spectacular, and I thought it was going to be the death of my H520E. Had it been a horse, I thought we were gonna have to shoot it.

I also repair the cameras. So if they can't get it fixed, I'd be happy to take a look at it. I have a lot of parts for that one.

Oh great!!! Do I need to send the entire drone to you if just the camera isn't working, or is there a way to take the camera off and send it by itself? I'll see what he tells me, but he's thinking the camera is shot. Thank you!!

I would just need the camera. Which model camera is it?

I just jumped back and found the model camera you have. I will surely try and help you out. Once you get the drone back, shoot me a PM and I will send you my information. Just pay for the shipping and parts, and I will do it for you. If it is something I can't fix, I will let you know and send it back to you. I actually just bought a couple of cameras from a dealer on eBay, but they are sold out now. I thought they might have one for you cheap.

Thanks for this. I have a guy looking at it now. I think I'm good for now, but will keep you posted if anything changes.
