    Random eBay purchasing like Russian roulette ?

    I have a Mini 1 that works fine, BUT I left the controller in a taxi or hotel when I was in Thailand. Wanting to use while I was there, I found there are many DJI / OEM shops, so I stopped in for assistance expecting to purchase a replacement remote for the drone and be on my way. After...

    I’m SO close …!

    Ok. So… as a proof of concept, before I started soldering and unsoldering leads on my drones ESC, I DELIBERATELY installed the wrong prop on the quadrant that didn’t have left ( # 3 ) So, to be clear , I have THREE of 1 type of prop, and ONE of the 2nd type ( where cross props are not same...

    Hi There ! First post…. Just getting into the forums ! I’m SO close to self-repairing my Mini, but I’ve hit a dead end. I have a Mini 2 that I’ve been working on since I crashed it in Thailand last year. Over there, there is an abundance of OEM shops where I could take it directly. To the...
