[QUOTE="PhantomFandom, post: 115402, member: 15128"] Very nice and good luck! Yes I have done it myself. Luckily I've never crashed one but I purchased two that needed repairs and I did them myself. The one that was super easy was replacing the main controller board on a P4. When I bought it, one of the IMUs was not functioning, and replacing the board made it perfect. It just takes a little patience prying open the case. The tough one was a Spark. I bought it after a crash where one of the arms was snapped off and dangling from the motor cables. That meant replacing the shell, one motor, one ESC, and propellers. The hard part was soldering the wires to the very small ESC board right underneath the motor. Plus the way the Spark shell is designed, the only way to replace it, is to de-solder and the solder all 4 motors! What a pain. Again patience does the trick. Some pictures of the surgery below...
