Many thanks to Atomic08 (@Atomic8) - I bought his crashed drone and have salvaged a LOT of it!
Here in the UK, Yuneec parts cost an arm and a leg! (which just so happens to be exactly what I've broken on mine
)
By salvaging a crashed drone, not only am I able to fix my own but have many spares for future mishaps (God forbid but bound to happen)
So on the whole, it has worked out cheaper this way even though I had to pay shipping from the US.
I was able to salvage the following parts:
Just thought I'd share this incase anyone else faces buying expensive new parts (especially in the UK)
First check to see if anyone has a crashed one that they will sell.
Thanks to this forum I found one. There's bound to be others too
