No mater how much you plan and prepare, the only thing i can count on is something going wrong to throw a wrench in my plans.
Weeks of preparation, making plans and 2 days before the boat is scheduled to leave for Havasu, we hurt a motor during testing. For 2:00 yesterday until 5:00 pm today I have done nothing but try and get a replacement motor or pair of motors. At 5 pm today I went home with a migraine, beat like a whipped dog. Out of options. I laid on the crunch and took a nap and just woke up recharged. I'm going to give it one last try tomorrow.
Anyone have a set of Sterling 1550's quad rotors they want to sell. I figure it's a long shot but it's worth asking.
I'm not out yet and really want to make it. Anyone have any feasible solutions, let me know.

Stay home and fix it right. That is a long a$$ haul after a trying to marathon something as serious as yours back together.

I would agree. Don't rush it. The speeds and what's at risk is to high.
I bet you'll always have a spare motor now.
What broke in the motor?
How many hours?
Good luck!
