Hi there.
A newbie to quad copter flying, thanks to a thoughtful xmas gift from my SO.
First flight out lasted around 15 minutes, took some wonderful video footage and pictures, landed and tipped the quad over.
Rear left prop came to a sudden halt and lo and behold the prop now stutters as it appears so many have experienced before me.
Given the fact that I was in a rather remote location, I had a mate get me the spare motor as well as some prop guards and via shanks pony I received the parts a few days later.
Unfortunately the supplier had supplied the incorrect motor and I (now) understand there are two different specs for the Phantom 2 + out there.
That being the back ground - my questions are as follows:
1. Will the motor replacement fix the issue or is there a good chance the ESC has been fried?
2. If I choose to upgrade to the "new improved" motors, I gather I need to change the motors as well as the ESC - is this the case?
Given the fact that I am originally an accountant, the idea of using a `Solder gun' is daunting to say the least. So I really do not want to have to do more than I have to until I have practiced a bit more on getting solder to form a nice bead, instead of splattering it all over the table.
Your advice would be much appreciated
Tony
