Iris+ arm replacement how to

Posted by DavidFolts on May 4, 2015 at 8:49pm

Well today I experienced a flyaway while in loiter, and the result was 2 broken arms, both on the right side.

So I proceeded to open up Pandora's box! 

Seriously! To replace the arms I need to desolder and resolder the motor and led leads? Son of a bitch.

OK then, anyone of y'all got any how-to suggestions for performing the replacement?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

      Thanks for that Aram.  I watched the video a couple of weeks ago so have a fair idea what to do, I have some snapped wires to join which makes it a little more challenging for me.  I will go at this in the morning and see how I get on.

      Looks like the video was taken in the Tijuana production facility.  Quick hands.  I notice the workstation has a place to set the unit while its being worked on.

      Many thanks for the link Larry!
