Kevin Arrowood replied to Joris's discussion Iris+ motor failure then smoke - fixable in Cape Town? in IRIS
"A sad day for sure. 
It looks like the smoke came from the 4in1 ESC.  Does the loose motor wire appear to have broken from the stress of the hard landing or perhaps it was a cold solder joint?  A new 4in1 ESC is around 130.00 dollars US.  I would…"

"I lost mine as a result of a hard flip over landing. The traces came off the board so I was unable to repair it.  I ordered a replacement radio from 3DR for 50.00 us.  I also got a short cable with RP-SMA connectors, one female and one male. I…"

Kevin Arrowood replied to JB3's discussion Iris Transmitter Battery (FS-TH9X) in IRIS
"I am using the Hobby King 2.65 in your link.  Just swap the power leads. I have attached a pic.
