I recently crashed my Phantom 3 and ended up having to do a complete shell replacement. Given the magnitude of the work required, I figured I would make a few additional upgrades as well: Custom paint (lower shell), Remote Control HDMI Module Upgrade, and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Propellers. Also, since I was not able to find any YouTube videos or Forum threads that went into the level of detail that I was looking for, I went ahead and created a five-part series on YouTube that walks through the process in detail. I'm guessing that there are others out there who either have or will need to do a full shell replacement at some point so I hope this series will be helpful. Below, is a brief description of each of the five parts along with a link. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

- Intro & Parts
- Custom Paint Prep
- RC HDMI Upgrade
Part 2:

Part 4:
