***** IMPORTANT UPDATE *****
One thing that isn’t covered in this video is to check the fitment and layout of the wires of your newly installed thumb stick. I wasn’t careful and one of the reinforcing plastic ribs of the controller cut through the wire when I closed everything up tight and rendered my rotation input useless. I ended up having to redo this whole process over again with a second replacement thumbstick. I don’t know why it didn’t show up on my initial test, but it ruined my first test flight 😬
My first time opening up the DJI RC Controller and replacing my totally smashed control stick module.
