Finally ordered from China, hope it'll be genuine.

Do you have changed the front arm?

 

[DJ1342]

Yep, ordered from ali friend. It was perfect, but had to order the complete arm assembled.

Mini or Mini2?
Does fit?

 

[DJ1342]

Yes, it was an original. As i remember it was sold as "original refurbished", but it was new or almost new.

It is stiffer than mini 1.
I am asking only for plastic part of arms without motors and propellers.
Is there anybody to know for sure in order for me to try out?

I have actually seen this done. Someone had done a bad repair job and I wondered why the screws didn't line up until I realized it was a mini 2 arm. Can confirm, will fit. The shell on the arms is essentially impossible to replace cleanly. Taking the wires out is easy but when reinstalling the wires, they get caught in the foam. I've was unable to do it when I tried. A mini 1 arm is as stiff as a mini 2 arm. (afaik)

TLDR: mini 1 arm = mini 2 arm if you entirely swap them, but watch out for the prop screws (very different)

It seems that I didn't read the whole thread, but the mini 2 arm also may be thicker. I've got both arms and since I repair them, I tend to throw out bad parts. If I find it I'll update you on the thickness.
