Re: Is there anywhere in the Chicago Area stocking P2V Motor
Aerial Media Pros in California know their ****! Got my motors this morning. My Phantom is once again running on all 4 motors. Here's what I discovered while having my P2V opened up on my desk.
The power leads from the main board to the ESC had cold solder joints. Both leads (which appeared to have some kind of adhesive on them to keep em together) were
off the board. I put the battery in, fired it up, ran up the motors and when pushing the leads back to the board, the "bad motor" spun up. This was after I'd already put the new motor in and fired it up to find it still didn't work so who knows.....my original motor may be ok. I'll test that later.

I made the video large so you see what I'm pointing out. It looks like some of the Solder mask came off with the leads. I tacked em back on with my soldering gun and she's running fine. This COULD HAVE BEEN catastrophic! Had I been over water, or above trees....I'm sure this would have totaled the P2V.
Again, I have to give credit where credit is do. Aerial Media Pros got the job done and got me my parts quickly! When ordering stuff from Dronefly.com, I got excuses why it wasn't there in 2 days, when I paid for 2nd day air. When originally having issues with my RADIO, it took over a WEEK for DJI to even RESPOND to me. Then it took another 3 days to get my radio.
Of course, as fate would have it....the wx here in the Chicago area turned to sht today with the winds picking up a lot, so I haven't been able to test-fly the P2V yet.
