Blade 350 qx

[liamq82]

Hey guys and girls, i would really appreciate your advice. I purchased my first quadcopter last week, the blade 350 qx. I managed to turn it off about 80 feet in the air and broke the legs, frame and the compass wire.
Any suggestions on ways i could reconnect the broken compass wires? solder or heat wrap etc?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This thread is pretty old - sorry, just saw it. What exactly broke? The wires or the connector(s)? If I'm seeing correctly, it's one of those small wires in the bundle, right? You can always solder a broken wire back together and then put some heat shrink on it... actually put the heat shrink on first and slide it out of the way while you solder, then put it over the connection and heat it up with a blow dryer or heat gun - or lighter. Or you could just solder it and throw some electrical tape around it. There are some more creative ways as well, but they might not hold as good. Twisting the wire together and then throwing some electrical tape to keep it together would work in a pinch.

Cheers I appreciate the tips. Will try soldering and electrical tape.

I did the same thing! Broke landing gear and compass wire. I just replaced the compass module..not that expensive.
