    Part 33 main board 044LC

    As an update. DJI received the drone, apparently it fired up fine! However, they weren't happy to send it back in it's current condition as the soldering didn't have the glue in accordance with their quality assurance requirements. They also noticed i tinged the iron on some of the plastic...

    Part 33 main board 044LC

    Part 33 main board 044LC

    Drone went in the sea. Ordered 'part 33' and got a 044LC- it has the metal capactitor. Which motors are compatible? The little card with the board only contemplates a rev A or rev B. No mention of rev C
