[QUOTE="peejay, post: 113000, member: 1053"] all right, small update. I am after some serious shopping research, and I found almost impossible to buy a broken controller or just replacement parts.. [USER=894]@Spark 317[/USER] ifixit that you've linked, had the best price for both sticks but unfortunately they are out of stock [and although they have an european shop with nice priced shipping - drone parts are not a part in that shop at all. pun intended]. sticks that I've found on ebay are... $20 EACH, with additional $38 for shipping & import charges, so I'm going to pass on that too as it's too close to used, working controller ;) I've also scratched out from my shopping list the dummy controller that I've found earlier - I'm guessing that it won't be a great idea spending over 20GBP on a shell that probably won't give me fully functional sticks to work with. I've searched on ebay, amazon, few my local portals and finally - found the holy grail in the last place looked in - aliexpress. price is not terrible, [URL='https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33047630135.html']about $28 for two sticks[/URL] that look just like on ifixit, described as [I]for DJI Mavic[/I]. next thing was to research the teardowns - found few of them but unfortunately none was showing the sticks parts, so I'm not 100% sure they will be the same.. one of the teardowns was [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/threads/spark-remote-teardown-internals.274/']here on the forum[/URL], I wrote to it's author - [USER=172]@Ender[/USER], maybe I'll get some answers and then I'll order the parts [or not]. in the meantime I've ordered [URL='https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33018354194.html']two sticks with threads[/URL], maybe I'll use them. it would be a cool addition to my lava red bird :) we'll see what is going to be next. I'll update this topic if anything would change/stop/move forward. if anybody happen to know if Mavic's sticks are the same parts as Spark's - let me know please, as this is the only info I'm looking for now.
