Same problem with my Inspire 1. Now 'fixed'. I took apart the aircraft so that I could get to the landing gear retract motor and shaft for inspection. I too found that the tiny brass gear that is supposed to be fixed to the gear shaft was spinning freely. These parts are too small for me to make a key way, or even a set screw. After consideration, decided to use use JB Weld. I first roughed up the shaft using a Dremel grinder and a small drill bit for the inside of the gear. This shaft is 1.6 MM diameter, so not many options. I then cleaned the surface with Acetone. Using a tooth pick, I carefully mixed and applied the epoxy to the shaft, set the gear on it and allowed it to fully cure. After reassembly, testing and flying, no issues. I get no guaranties, so I found and ordered a "DJI Inspire 1 Part 2 -Middle/Center Frame Component Assembly For DJI Drone Inspire 1 /1 V2.0 /1 Pro". I have now received the DJI replacement part, pictured below, and can implement if my epoxy job fails.
Hi, did repair hold? Just happened to mine that’s always kept in case in dry summerhouse and gear lays raised on case (plastic low resistance) did you get gear from Aliexpress or dji? Regards, Alex |
