Can you fix a broken DJI FPV drone arm?

If you own the DJI FPV drone, sooner or later you will probably break an arm leaving you with a choice. Do you send it in to DJI and have them repair it, or attempt to fix it on your own.
This is my story of attempting to fix a broken DJI FPV drone arm on my own.
You can order parts for this drone from Cloud City Drones:

Thanks for the parts website!

Came for the arm replacement, that part is not in the time-lapse? cmoooon! Just having the same problem, will be ordering some parts and see if I can get mine fixed....

Dan you make that look easy but that would be years of experience showing. You've just got to find the loose DJI gremlin that keeps going "ha ha, watch this". We know that you will find him and kick his little butt.

Yeah, if you were not the kind of kid that took all your toys apart to see how they worked ( and put them back together ) then this kind of repair might not be for you :) One of the hardest parts was getting the darn wires back into the arms. DJI didn't leave much space for them!

@@5zero7RC Understand completely, Mom said they took the screw driver I found away from me at 2 years of age because I was taking things apart.

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome work, dude! 😊 But it's kinda worrying... Any idea of what happened? Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@5zero7RC]

My only theory is that the grass was pretty long and maybe a prop or two caught the grass as I was pushing up on the throttle and maybe that was enough to make the system go bonkers.

I broke my fpv my first time trying night flying luckily only one arm broke, im working on fixing it now just waiting for parts

[@mNag]

Busted one of my arms, I got DJIcare, but they still charge way more than an arm to fix it. So I'm gonna try the repair myself. How'd your repair go?

[@TysonEdits]

hi I'm thikning of getting an fpv drone, any good budget ones?

[@5zero7RC]

It really depends what you are looking for. FPV drones come in a very wide variety. I would suggest checking out www.fpvknowitall.com/ for recommendations.

[@BrandonBeans]

is there a calibration done through the assistant program?

[@5zero7RC]

I don't think so, or at lest nothing I remember using in the past.

[@FlightPattern177]

Great video! Any idea why a motor would get locked or how to fix it?

[@5zero7RC]

Did you crash and bend part of the motor? That's the only thing I can think of.

[@FlightPattern177]

@@5zero7RC I had a small crash a week or two ago, but it’s flown fine until two days ago. Went to launch and the motor was locked. 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol
