I recently destroyed an oiplan in a crash.
Ordered a new one and built it along with a new compass.
This time I have connected the compass via the i2c cable.

Can anyone tell me the best source of prop adapters for the 3DR arducopters.
I ordered some 3mm shaft diameter adapters here in Australia but they are too tight.
