    GL300C Controller Mainboard Replacement

    Replacement board works. I've been able to connect the remote to the Phantom 4. It was a cheap fix via aliexpress ($53 with shipping). Relatively straight forward: disassemble the GL300C, replace the board and reassemble, update the firmwares and connect. I still have never flown this...
