    F4D3DKN1GH7's repair journey (from intro page)

    Alright my aeronautical brothers and sisters are we ready for an update?! I am hoping that my updating this thread will cause it to jump out at folks again. Needless to say, things have been a bit crazy around here trying to get my household in order before a (somewhat) extended vacation has...

    F4D3DKN1GH7's repair journey (from intro page)

    Ah yes I see that and those are actually the original connection points. They are crazy close to one another but don't quite touch. Sundays are crazy busy around here but glad I was able to hop on for a moment. Think I'll be looking at a replacement board just to keep things simple as possible...

    F4D3DKN1GH7's repair journey (from intro page)

    I think I see what your talking about. So, while looking at that board and splitting it down the middle, there are three pads at the top running horizontally and then three pads running vertically forming a T shape.

    Intro and question on city flying

    I can't really add too much to what has already been said here. Getting to know your drone will be paramount. There are some YouTube videos that deal with basic manouvers to practice but also get you used to taking off and hovering at eye level while rotating so you can hear and identify any...

    F4D3DKN1GH7's repair journey (from intro page)

    Hello all, this is a continuation of the thread I started in the introduction page. A quick recap for those just tuning in: I fly a magic pro platinum (mpp) and have for a few years now but there was a learning curve and after noticing some instability that was not addressed after multiple...

    Pernacious pro platinum pilot's potential pain

    Awesome, thank you for your response, here is a better picture: The good news is that the pins themselves appear to be in good shape and so I was wondering the exact thing you mentioned; the viability of simply tacking it down with epoxy so thank you! Already did the research on a replacement...
