How to remove the top shell

[Soad70]

Hi all, just a few questions on removing the top shell of the phantom 4.
Is it just a matter of unscrewing the hex bolts on the bottom half and the three on each motor or is it a lot more involved?

There are plastic molded "snap" features around the shell upper and lower halves you will have to negotiate. Press in on the top half, be gentle, and for god sakes, don't use a metal screwdriver to pry things apart. Plastic cell phone pry tools work well.

Thanks for the video, looks like a complicated process and I would probably break something. It's sitting in some rice at the moment I'll see how that goes and if it doesn't fire up I guess I have a practice drone to try it with.
Thanks again
