What are the downsides of using a tablet or an unactivated phone for flying?

I did end up getting it apart and then I also ended up taking those 2 metal threads out since I was not able to push them in to place. I might eventually tear out the plastic that is usually around that metal piece and then epoxy the bottom of it in.

UPDATE: I have it about half way off but on the backside near the battery I cant seem to press the bottom shell in to unclip it.

Yeah I probably wouldn't mind running without a screw but I will probably still need to get the top off to make it able to shut. Unfortunately, this is where I am now stuck. Getting the top off is a pain in the butt. If I do buy another shell I would most likely just put the new top on instead...

Oh whoops, I guess i was reading that wrong. Disregard that. I am still having trouble fitting the shell together around the motors. I just made a post with some pictures. Any ideas? Trouble putting shell back on around motors.

So I am trying to re seat all of the clips after my latest / first crash which seems to be the only thing wrong with the drone other than some broken props and I seem to be having some trouble getting the shell back together around 2 of the motors. As you can see in the pictures, I am not able...

I think you had this backwards. The T8 is for all of the screws except the ones on the very ends.

I got a driver from my hardware store. Wasn't as big of a handle as I would have liked but it offered a bit more grip and leverage than the other one I was using and I was able to get them out with some pressure and slow twists. Now to pop the top and re seat it. Sent from my iPhone using...

Ohhh I like that. I have the Allen key version already. I'm guessing my hardware shop will be able to hook me up with some quality stuff. If not I will pick these up. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Those are a bit pricey, I'm going to see what I can rent from my local Autozone first. Or pickup at a local hardware store, hopefully just a single high quality T6. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I'll have to watch the video more closely to see what you are talking about before doing anything. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

I appreciate the help! Hopefully things go smoothly tomorrow. That's actually the video I pulled up at my friends house.

I tired unscrewing them and screwing them back in. It worked on one but still couldn't position the shell quite right for the others at the time. I'm sure with some more tinkering I can get it. I'll go shopping around tomorrow at maybe a hardware store or an auto shop for that driver. Is it a T6...

I'm confused because these are "ball driver screwdrivers" Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

TLDR, I was rushed and didn't take my surroundings in to account as much as I should have and didn't use a way point or home lock function that probably would have prevented the crash. I hit the side of a friends house and landed in some rocks. I broke 3 props which I am not worried about since...
