As I said in my intro I was given a Phoenix 2.0, I decided not keep it but then said ok, I'll give it a shot. All these terms, no,s & abreviations are strange to Me.
I got the app in my fone but it would not connect to the drone, then I remembered I couldn't connect to my range camera wi-fi either untill I shut off my sim card, Voilla!, we got roters turnin!. Will report more progress when it happens.

Hey I am a new OLD guy at 73 and acquired a Lumo Glow Drone with a 77 on its back and I kinda inherited it and am self taught , so you can figure out there have been a few crashes...well all was ok until i lost a propeller and a quad does not fly as a trio....I am unable to locate any one that sells them around here and I am unable to locate anyone selling them online...measures 50mm as it is 2 props and the hub shaft measures 4mm if i am reading my vernier correctly , been a long time since the machine shop....model # is 1015435

No This is the model, why so much trouble to find replacement props??? Like I said I am new to the game , I had some little helicopters and they were fun for awhile, but the new wore off and I put them up and now I no not where they are, but I would like to get this flying again as it is a blast to chase my Pug with...LOL

Will you be able to visit hobby shops that sell rc cars, helicopters and drones?
If yes, that will be the best place to get the propellers you need.
Take the drone with you to the shop and talk to the sales person. You may be able to find propellers that will fit your drone.
Just curious. A new drone when bought always comes with spare set of propellers. Did you get them, or you broke them all already?

P.S. In case you don't know this.....
1. Your screenshot shows 2 missing props. 1 of the missing props is designed to turn clockwise and the other is designed to turn counterclockwise. Make sure you buy both.
2. Your drone has 4 motors, 2 of which are to turn clockwise, and the other 2 are to turn counter-clockwise. It goes without saying that clockwise props go to clockwise motors, counter-clockwise props go to counter-clockwise motors.
Drone won't fly if props are not installed correctly to their corresponding motors.

I unfortunately don't seem to have an RC dealer anywhere around me, I have mobility issues and don't travel much...

I did find some props that are 55mm and i have to trim off 2.5mm per blade end off and the hub center is too small for my attachment point, but that just makes them harder to repair.......these will work, but if I made Quads I would sure sell extra blades./..

I know what you mean buying on line and China has made a lot of RC shops close down , my mate has an RC shop and it closed for RC but now sells air rifles he said it's a bigger business
Try banggood you may find the same drone under a different brand name and then be able to get parts

RE : Battery cover
There is little chance you can find that part for sale. It is unlikely manufacturers will bother to make spare parts for a low budget toy drone. No offense intended. I'm just expressing my opinion.
The alternative I am suggesting is this...... Scotch Bundling Wrap
This is a very useful product. It is built on one side with material that binds itself tightly and will not let go unless it is unbound manually. I used it to tie a more powerful battery at the belly of the drone. It never let go of the battery while in flight.
You can cut a piece, wrap it around the battery compartment area to act as cover. The link I gave you is Amazon.ca, if you are not in Canada, you will have to find another site that sells that item.

RE : 3.7v 650 mah lipo battery
Again here is the Amazon.ca link that sells 3.7v 650 mah battery.

NTOE : Have a look at the end of the battery where it is to be connect to the drone, see screenshot below:

RE : Charger
There are 2 different chargers of this kind. One has slots at the middle, and one does not.
The slot is to accept the "ridge" of the battery. Wrong charger will not fit the battery for charging.
