Q500 4K not used. Looking to move on

mickscull · Apr 20, 2024

Hi, I have a Q500 4K in the supplied carry case. It's had a couple of sessions hovering in my back garden. Never really flown it. I suppose it was an impulse buy at the time. 1 of the 2 batteries is a little bit puffy, but not too much. All as it came from Yuneec. Never crashed at all. CG03, all working fine. As it's now classed as old, it could be used, or broken for spares etc.
Any interest out there? I've not put a price, as not really sure what would be fair to me or the buyer. Based in the UK, Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
If anyone is interested, I'll take some photo's and send them. Seems a shame, it's just sat there and not being used.
Cheers, Mick

Wow, 240 views and not one single comment at all. Is the Q500 4K really that old and of no use to anyone? My 1st post was to see if any interest at all and then talk about money if any use to anyone. Seems Mini drones have bitten into the market in a big way, and the big boys are really out of favour. Ah well, it was worth a try

Let's call it vintage drones. I like my Q500 but fly it very seldom since I have a Typhoon H too.
Yes, there is no market for the big birds.

I believe you answered your own question about the post. You have no price or picture.......pretty much no info. That does not create any interest what so ever. That would be the biggest reason why nada happening with your ad. You can tell your physical friends that you make the best cakes in the world. But when you never actually make one for them to see and taste......how would they know.

Drones over 249g are much more restricted in the UK and EU. This makes their use in more congested areas nigh to impossible for most recreational users.
