Need left carbon fiber lift arm

Carey Bradshaw · Dec 11, 2015

Just smashed my inspire and I'm looking for replacement parts.
1) left carbon fiber lift arm (looking at the front)

2) left carbon fiber strut

3) right carbon fiber boom tube (no motors needed)

I did this...now i have extras if you wish...DJI Inspire 1 Carbon Fiber Boom/Arm sleeve for Fixing your Inspire 1. CF Sleeve

This is the only place i have ever seen that has the arms as new parts. They are not cheap. DJI Inspire 1 Replacement Arm Boom (Fitting Available) – Marionville Models

Wow. That's crazy expensive. I want to actually sell the inspire once it's fixed so I need it to look as sick as possible. Don't think that sleeve will look clean enough. (From what I see in the picture)

after you used the sleeve and glue it to the parts that are broken, you then use a bonding agent of the outside to make it look somewhat better...I used gorilla glue and made it thinker so it acted like a filler for the carbon fiber pieces that were missing.

ouch..id would either send it in..to DJI or part it out as a whole...then buy another. Sell the x3 and the radio to recoup some cost as well and keep the batteries. PM me if you go the route of parting. I may be interested.

Hey there. Curious on how your strut replacement went. I have a replacement coming and would love to know if there are any videos anywhere showing how. I have most of it taken a part for a new paint job currently but need some help with the strut replacement. Thanks.
