Like alot of cheap &amp; quick business opportunists alot of startups happened and with that drone manufactures started creating some good quality, dependable,  with high resolution camera drones.  Unfortunately incedents happen and drones crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a particular unit that was acquired cheaply for the purpose of training. This drone configuration has 6 motors and is quite stable, but on this day it decided to stop the motors for about 5 seconds at a 30 foot hover. Why i dont know but the result was pretty bad. <br>If you have ever looked at retail replacement parts for specific manufactured parts you soon realize where they make alot of their revinue. Of course being a fixer we just put it in a box and waited for a solution, which happened aquiring a used uncrashed unit minus assessories for 200 bucks. This was the only result that would have brought this drone back to like, The unit sells for aroun 2000 with a camera, if i were to retail parts they would have been over 500 bucks. Hopefully there are enough to get back in the air<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because this is a complete rebuild this will be multiple segments to post. Firstly I had to aquire some landing gear parts, this unit has reteactable gear, a very cool feature but the servos are expensive. The option was to get used cases as replacement parts at 10 each. Following will be pix of the rebuild<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right click images and open in new tab for detail view<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10420\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030675-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10420\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10423\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030676-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10423\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10422\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030680-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10422\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10419\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030681a-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10419\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10421\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030684-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10421\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10418\" src=\"http:\/\/fixitus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/P1030687-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10418\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see there are some small parts, the gear uses hooks on a carrier, the hooks are broken.
