The fine gps wire was shielded, and I unsoldered at the Ariel end (inside the landing foot) all the other cables conveniently have push fit connectors The cf tube was from Japan. Via their eBay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/HaoZhong-Carbon-Fiber-Tube

a smaller diameter fitting inside the original, strip motor from end area, unplug the main wires, unsolder the fine wire to gps leg end, then slide repair cf tube into broken stub and epoxy, slide broken end over new tube, epoxy in exact same position as original, in my case the break was now...

Hi AGAIN Tim, I have just rechecked the price, it's still £18 for two 2mtr lengths plus £6 postage from Japan. Stuart

Tim, just a thought, I had two 1mtr pieces of CF from Japan, and I used over half of one piece for my repair, if you want to buy the unused I meter length and pay half of the £24 cost ? That maybe better as the part piece I have left is a lot less than half of the full length. Stu

Hi Tim, you're right, it's not the best shot, I was hoping to see the fracture/break style, but the tape is not allowing this view, the break in my tube was very clean, and it had an angle that allowed the detached arm to fit back only in the exact same position as original, like a one way key...

Hi Tim, if you send me a picture of the broken leg I will give you my honest opinion, the wiring is very simple to disconnect, just one fine wore that is a solder job, where are you located? I have a spare piece of CF you are welcome to. Regards Stuart

Simon, Sorry for the delay in my reply. C F Tube came from : http://stores.ebay.co.uk/HaoZhong-Carbon-Fiber-Tube Two pieces supplied approx £18, only half of one piece was used on my repair, if your stuck I can send the second full piece to you. Stu

My Galaxy Tab 3 is OK with v 1 0 10, but my tab 4 doesn't like it (no video), Dji suggested (link given to me) a reload of v 1 07 on it. which has solved the problem, shame cos its a backward step, I hope the next version will cure this. Stu

Hi Simon, I had similar problem a few months ago, I broke the RH front arm, internal accident. hit the wall and she dropped onto the corner, broke the carbon fibre tube quite cleanly and two props too. No other damage, so I did a temp repair, external splint, made from a large clear nylon...

Thanks for that useful tip Gogo. The crack is in the central part of the front tube, so that only contains the wiring harness, I plan to bond some new CF tube over the original.

Behave gogo, the air is thinner ! :) (and we're more daring, and brave ) Actually Isaac Newton lived about 4 miles from here, and he went to school in Grantham, my home town, so gravity is very close to my heart..... I've got my i1 splinted now, very successfully, doesn't look to hot, will be...

Hi gogo, I've sadly broken right front forward facing leg, done some research and carbon fibre tube is readily available, a wiring harness runs through to each corner, so don't know how easy it will be to replace, I'm certainly interested, don't want to have to send back DJi unless forced to...
