    Just bought a "beginner" drone. Bought a DJI Phantom 3 Professional. Bought used, crashed on two consecutive days. Long story short, I now can rebuild EVERYTHING on the Phantom 3 Pro ! LOLOL ! I learned how to replace/repair the body, the boards, the camera, and replace the ribbon cable on the camera. On a good note my piloting skills are improving daily and I have't had a crash since the first two. I really recommend buying used, bought mine off Facebook (things for sale) for about 70% less than the retail, yes it was used, but not abused. You can find some good deals, practice on that then buy something a bit more high end if you end up liking it. This particular model is discontinued at retail but parts and consumables are readily available.

    I'm not very good at drones, but have been doing RC Aircraft for 53 years now. All aircraft have an expiration date manufactured in - you just don't know what it is! Just cleaned out my workshop, taking a full truck load of stuff to the dump - figured if I hadn't gotten around to fixing it in over 15 years, I might not ever. That still leaves a pretty healthy ready-to-go armada, and just as many waiting to be assembled.
