What we look at
Crash and impact damage. Arms, shells, landing gear, and the internal damage that a clean looking airframe can hide.
Motors and speed controllers. A drone that drifts, will not hold altitude, or throws a motor error on takeoff.
Gimbal and camera faults. Stabilization that has stopped stabilizing, and camera modules that no longer communicate.
Firmware, calibration, and configuration. Compass and IMU calibration, controller binding, and the software problems that get mistaken for hardware failures.
Why this is quoted rather than listed
Airframes and parts vary too much for a price list to mean anything. A shell for one model costs a fraction of the same part for another, and crash damage is rarely limited to what is visible. The diagnostic comes first, then a real number.
Commercial operators
If you fly for survey work, real estate, inspection, or agriculture, downtime costs more than the repair does. Tell us what the aircraft does for you and we will work to that timeline rather than a generic one.
Before you send it back to the manufacturer
Get a second opinion first. Manufacturer service often quotes near replacement cost with a multi week turnaround, and a meaningful share of what comes to us is a calibration or a single component rather than a write off.
