Yuneec Typhoon H Plus Motor Replacement

Introduction

Although professional grade drones are built to be robust, accidents and wear and tear may occur. Sometimes, it can be bad enough to cause the drone arm motor to stop functioning, preventing operation of the drone. The drone arm motor rotates the propeller to generate lift. Damage to this arm may prevent the propeller from working properly. This guide will show you how to replace a bad or broken drone motor on your Yuneec Typhoon H Plus drone. No special skills will be required to perform this replacement
