    DJI Stability Issues - Replaced Parts

    Not knowing how bad of a crash it was, I'd check the GPS unit first. Maybe you could borrow a friend's GPS puck which you know is working properly (?).

    Batteries

    Personally I'd just get a more well-known brand in that price range. This is what I have; they work well and fit in a Phantom v1.1: https://www.rcdepothobbies.com/PLU25_27003_PULSE_LIPO_2700mAh_11_1V_25C_p/plu25-27003.htm If you're not familiar with Pulse lipos they're pretty well-known with...

    Skyjib 8 Heavy Lifter Build

    @silastyler - Any update on your build? I'm still deciding between the DW SkyJib 8 and the Cinestar 8 (but with much higher spec'd components and motors -- not the recommended MK-based setup). Hoping for an update!

    GotHeliRC.com NEW! Gem Fan 1045 Carbon mix (direct fit with DJI motor)

    Don't try that with a stock DJI prop! I bet you it would snap with a 1 lb. weight! I just received my set from GotHeliRC and I must say that these props are quite good, especially for the price! :cool:
