    Fixed Crashed Mavic Pro

    In an act of pure genius, I backed my Mavic into a tree two weeks ago, luckily nobody was injured as it made its way indelicately to the ground. Despite falling through a tree from around 100 ft, the only permanent damage was a snapped rear motor arm. I was able to purchase the motor arm...

    Broken front right Arm

    So, like a moron, I was playing around in sport mode and managed to clip a tree. Now my front right arm has broken plastic at the hinge. I've seen arms being sold on ebay, but I'm very hesitant to purchase one and attempt the repair myself. Any advice would be well taken. Thanks

    Repair options?

    So, I've had my Mavic broken for a while now, and I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get it repaired, since its just a $1300 paperweight at the moment.

    Lead Free Solder?

    Does anyone know the proper solder used on the Mavic? I'm replacing a rear arm. I have read here that the solder joints require high heat, so I'm assuming the solder is lead free. I don't know anything about this type of solder, so I'm not sure what to get. Alloy, temp, diameter, etc. Any...
