Going To Buy a Used Drone? Consider These Points!
The popularity of drones has raised in recent years. Many people are flying drones as a hobby. Also there is a significant increase in the number of CAA approved drone pilots. Prices have fallen as drones have advanced and become more widely available, but the costs are still out of the reach of many people. Buying second hand drones can be the answer. There are some pitfalls to look out for when buying second hand drones, and the following tips will help you to avoid them.
The first step is to check the outer condition of the drone. If a drone has scratches and damage to the paintwork, it indicates that it has been used roughly and heavily. It may also mean it's been in some collisions and rough landings. General Condition
Look for small cracks and dents, and make sure the props turn smoothly when you turn them by hand. If they are loose or don't turn evenly it's a warning sign. Check Propellers
Look for physical damage or tarnishing around the contacts where the battery connects to the drone. Ideally you want to see the battery charge fully when buying second hand drones. Check Battery
This test is most important when buying second-hand drones. The motors should run smoothly and rev when the thrust is applied. Don't go for buy if a seller resists demonstrating the drone in flight. It is worth looking elsewhere. Ask to see Drone Fly
If the owner is a CAA approved drone operator it may have been used on a daily basis commercially. A commercial drone pilot will have maintained and looked after the aircraft. But the life of the drone may be lesser due to high usage. Ask How Drone has been Used?
