Sorry you crashed. I have learned over the years that we as pilots should never rely on settings staying "Set". I think it has been said a number of times in this thread "Preflight" which if done properly each flight saves many of us headaches. Always check your settings. Just assume that they...

None of those links has anything to do with waterproofing a Phantom which is what the OP topic is about.

Checkout Youtube. There are many many videos that can help with taking your Phantom apart if needed. Aside from that DJI does not offer a repair manual as they love to collect your cash for repairs.

I did some research before buying my P3A. The Yuneec H does have one advantage and that is the extra motors in the event of a failure but motor failure on Phantoms is a rare occurrence. I don't see the built-in screen as a benefit as tablets and phones can offer not only larger displays but...

20-21mins is extreme for a stock P3 in normal weather. I have gotten 1 20min flight out of 80 flights. The average is 18mins and 16 in windy conditions unless making an attempt to fly with the wind.

Waterproof "Rotors"? Did you mean the motors? Or did you mean the Rotors/props/blades? I would think that a squirt of that spray on the bearings before and after a "Wet" flight would be enough to keep the motors in good condition. Drying the Phantom after would be a good idea as well. Hair...

As posted above I think you biggest issue would be the camera. Yes the motors can run under water without any real damage aside from the bearings rusting over time. That spray seems to prevent rust as well so I think those items listed in the video are a pretty good start for most users...

According to the video the spray should work nicely for flying in rain or at the least protect the ESC's and main board enough to land if it starts raining. If you are looking for complete "Waterproofing" that can withstand being submerged with power and no damage then you are in for some...

I believe that as it is with most "Factory referbs" is they are restored to "Like new" condition. Meaning no scratches or visual damage. That said if I was buying anything refurbished I think the main concern is it functions 100% and cosmetics would play a lesser roll. If you want pristine...

I guess it would depend on which multi your using and the roll you need it for? The quality of video at night is not all that good on P3's and 4's but if you have a aircraft with FLIR or other night vision camera you can really open up it's capabilities. Daytime scouting pretty much anything...

Those strips are inserted into the slots and are not going anywhere. The first mod listed you have to crack open the battery and do a good bit of work. This requires little or no permanent modifications. If you are only doing long distance flights then the permanent mod may be a better option...

Been in RC for 32 years but most of that was ground vehicles (Electric and Nitro Monster trucks). I tried out airplanes when I was in the Air Force but was never a good pilot. I was good at building them and I enjoyed repairing my crashed planes. Got into muilti's about 3 years ago. Started...

I have altogether stopped using Go. I have yet to find something it does better than Litchi and in many cases it has many many issues that Litchi does not. I know not everyone has the same luck with Litchi as I do so your mileage my vary. I get signal issues using Go, poor video feed, lag and...

Here is what I have noticed about this issue. I see it happen only when I have used the Go app and then use Litchi. Keep in mind that if you open the Litchi App and the AC is not connected/powered on the app defaults to Hover. Not sure why it does not save your setting on the tablet but it does...
