Yes - I believe the 2 compass parts were only $20 or so total. What was complex was that the compass replacement requires opening both the main body and the legs - I wasn't competent to do that on the first try.

There is an internal fan which runs continuously. Is that what you are hearing?

One last thought. As I look back at my original battery failure, I believe it's possible that it was caused by heat. When I connected the wiring, I used some cramping barrel connectors that also have heat shrink tubing on them. I carefully warmed with a heatgun, but noticed when I picked the...

Success. I should start by saying this is really a pretty simple hack, and I'm an idiot for screwing it up the first time. At least I can help others avoid my mistakes. Tips to add to the work that Solardude already contributed: 1. DONT RUSH. Just slowly plan things out and take your time...

Thanks, but there's realistically no way for me to figure that out. I didn't take step by step pics. I'm just going to have to go for it. I think I've got it figured out now. Will update everyone in a few days.

Yeah - I owe the group an update here. My original thought was that I burned something on the RC mainboard in the process of doing the wiring, so I ordered a second RC. When that unit arrived (and while I was in the process of installing Jakes "clean install" kit, which rocks) I plugged the...

The service from Jeff and team is amazing. I ordered the Trekker and some filters. Jeff applied an "after order date" discount (I.e. A discount was offered after I ordered and he applied it anyway), and they included a filter case and gimbal cover (both unexpected and appreciated). Add in...

I used a certified 3rd party. Mainboard is expensive, as was labor. 2 x compass is only something like $20 for the parts. If your second compass is just disconnected from the mainboard, it's a relatively cheap fix (although I'm not willing to open the shell - many here do).

I was able to fly on just 1, but decided not to. Sent it in for repair. Turned out the 2nd compass connector on the mainboard had separated, so I needed to replace the mainboard (ouch) as well as the compass. Working fine now.

Thanks. I ask because I'm going to be flying over parts of the Great Lakes in about 3 weeks. Not only would I not expect to recover anything, but I wouldn't expect to be able to get the the "recovery area" in time to see this tiny float.

Thanks - really trying to understand - but if you get your bird back and its basically unrecoverable, what are you recovering?

Whats the point? It doesn't "float" the indicator for up to 10 mins after plunge. Wont the Phantom be toast long before that point?

One trick on the tight fit - when you are ready to zip closed the internal cover (the one that can be tight, lift up on the OUTSIDE of the bottom of the bag a bit - it will loosen up the zipper fit quite a bit, and make it much easier to zip.
