Before and After

[Georgerom]

Hi guys here I want to show how some people treat their expensive drone At first I couldn't believe the drone is "working"
Last week a customer come to me with this one and said he got it from eBay for like $600 but there are some problems with a motor and the LED not lighting up. Motor not spinning. When he takes it out of the bag I taught him he was scammed and that will be a problem for him. I didn't say anything and I accepted the job. Now look at the pictures and judge by yourself. Now the drone works like new without any issues.
The client did not believe it was his drone when he come to pick it up. That was funny.

Wow! That is a very good job
How did you fix all the scratches on the shell?

I installed a used but in good condition top and middle frame and on the battery I just cleaned up the paint.

It sounds like he got a bad deal on ebay, but he certainly found the right person to do the cleanup and repair on that drone.

Was this a one time thing or do you work on drones as a business? What part of Georgia are you in?

Sheesh… the scammer sure did abuse that thing and you did a stellar job at its restoration! I have looked into drone flipping but haven’t done any yet. It’s crazy how badly people treat drones that cost many thousands, I met a guy who was flying in heavy rain with a M2Z and he was controlling it out in the open with a iPad Pro - no case or protection on an of the gear. Then he landed straight into the extremely tall and soaking wet grass like it was a perfect place for landing. If anyone reading this thread treats their drone like this, just send it to me and I will treat it well for once…

I do repairs on drones but honestly, I never got one like this. Usually, I am not bragging about my work but this one I was thinking is worth sharing. I wash the board 4 times in an ultrasonic machine until I got all the junk off. Thanks for the comments.
