I've spent the better part of a day working on positioning these nuts...

    Replacing X5 Gimbal Ribbon Cable

    I just completed a full ribbon cable replacement on an x3. Everything went fine... extremely tedious job. Don't remove the old ribbon (event if it's torn) as it is the best reference for replacement. Several times you need to fold the ribbon onto itself for the correct orientation. I even...
