[QUOTE="basily, post: 113079, member: 19021"] After some testing and thinking, and considering your comment, I think I know what the problem with my drone is. And your problem might be the same. You mentioned that you replaced the bottom sensor, and I remembered when I took my drone apart in order to glue my gimbal motor frame, part of the disassembly was disconnecting the bottom sensor. This connector is the one that has the white rubbery glue all around it. See: [MEDIA=youtube]XTwTG4FAgHE:2988[/MEDIA] So I think the issue might be twofold: 1. If you have to disconnect that sensor, it is impossible to properly reconnect without removing that white rubbery glue. I believe that it stays underneath the sensor whereas it should cover the sensor. Thus pushing the sensor loose. 2. After removing that glue and reconnecting the sensor connector, we probably need to replace with a similar glue. I replaced it with glue from a hot glue gun, and so far it's okay but I am not sure that is the best solution. Perhaps just having removed the original glue is enough, because I think the main problem was that rubbery stuff pushing the connector up. I may reopen my drone once more to remove the glue I put in and replace it either with some kind of silicone glue, gasket sealer, or perhaps the best is sugru because it's the easiest to work with. On the other hand if after a few test flights it seems okay I may leave well enough alone. I hope this helps you too! [/QUOTE]
