First let me thank all of you for the opportunity to be featured here on Instrctables!

I recently purchased a 350 QX3 AP Combo. Last night I heard a strange noise while flying and noticed an object falling from the sky.

Low and behold it was the battery door to my QX. I did some research and found this is a common issue.

This is a simple inexpensive solution to correct the problem.

Spread a very thin layer of E6000 glue on the back of the trimmed Velcro as so no excess squeezes out. Place in desired location and let sit.

Trim Reinforcement Strip

Flip Velcro upside-down so it doesn't stick while you are positioning reinforcement strip, and cut it.

Finished

And just like that you have an easily removable battery door reinforcement
