    Thank you for the help I was able to replace the back left arm on my Mavic air after watching your video. I have never flown a drone and my boss brought one to work because he wants us to inspect the roofs at our job site. Yay for me! Someone at the office broke it before he could bring it out to me. Thankfully your video was here so that I could get it back up and running in no time. Thanks again.

    Had to replace front and back arm. Video was excellent. The first two screws were so filled with glue they looked flat. I managed to get it all back together thanks to you. I spun up the drone in the garage and it had lights and all 4 props had power. Will do a test flight in a few days. Thank you, thank you!

    Great video! Helped me get my front arm replaced on my Mavic Air after a aftermarket propeller failure knocked it out of the sky. Now I have to try and find some OEM props so I can test out the repair.

    Want to drop you a note to say thank you for such a comprehensive and detailed video. It was close to perfect and helped me repair my two damaged front legs on my Air. One detail that I didn't see in the video, and is probably is a no brainer, but I almost missed it was the washer that seats in the top of the arm bracket. Again, Thank you for a super awesome video that really saved the day (and a huge repair bill)!!

    I tore mine down to dry the circuits out real good after it went to the bottom of my lake. Only problem I had, must of been a flaw, is that while un connecting the antenna wire, it pulled the connector right off the board on one antenna. All was good, I soldered it to the mother board instead. I have repaired hundreds of phones, so I have specialized equipment on hand. Even my camera had a few drops of water floating around in it. I did like I do with phones, put all the circuit boards in the oven at the lowest setting 170degrees for 30 mins. I put the whole drone in there at first to dry it out, no problems, propellers and all.lol

Fortunately, the camera is undamaged, but the opposite side of camera body is severely crushed. I'm wondering if there's any possibility of repairing it ??

      Download DJI Assistant 2 On your PC or Mac you can reset your drone to factory settings clearing Most software bugs. May fix your issue as long as your ESC's are not damaged and your soldering is done correctly. Hope this helps!

    Thoughts on glueing a broken arm back together? Is it a horrible idea? If not, any recommendations on what glue to use?

    • @davidarchbald2206
      @davidarchbald2206 4 года назад

      Seth McClaine I would definitely not, maybe a last resort? I did this and my Mavic fell from 370 feet. I think a gust of wind blew it and then it tried to compensate and it was too much force on the arm and it broke. It was in about 9 prices and I never found the battery. I would say just try and fix it the right way.

    • @davidarchbald2206
      @davidarchbald2206 4 года назад

      Seth McClaine if you are going to glue it, use bob smith industries super glue and accelerator. Works great. Extremely strong glue.
