I broke one leg of the cross axis. I ordered a new one on Amazon and I did the repair in 20 minutes, without any problem. I am not a hobbist and never had done it before. I just took 20 minutes because I had to move all of 4 motors, and all cards. But I did it without any issue.

@portalsub Great! Enjoy your flights!

@vibosoft What the fuck are you talking about? I have no idea about planes and copters, and I just repaired my drone in 5 minutes.

My new propellers are bent because of the packaging. Now my drone can't even fly with the outdoor hull :(

i'd rather give $300 to charity rather than spending it on this cock sucking piece of shit.

0:03 same shit happend by my drone, cause it was out of controll. -.-

Broke a gear, but easily repaired. They could not have made it easier. The only problem is I have big hands so I had to go slow and steady. And I made sure to drink decaffeinated beverages before the repair. It took me only a few minutes to repair the gear. I believe I would be able to repair the unit easily in the field based on this, my first repair.

This is so bullshit you cant even get the spare parts in norway!!!

[bitmoresane]

anyone know if graphite would be a safe lubricant for the the propeller pins?

[vibosoft]

You need to be a skilled hobbyist to make repairs on this item. This is surely not for beginners. They make it look like it's easy but in fact it's not. You can also let me repair it for you ; )

The pricing is OK. U get 4x BL Motors, 2 Cams inside, 2x Bodys, Tools... Take a look to the "simple" Quadcopter from Conrad.de for the same 299.-- euronas.
