How to Inspect Refurbished Drone Show Drones Before Buying
Inspection points for refurbished drone show drones, including visible condition, motors, LEDs, batteries, RTK equipment and proof media.
Aircraft inspection
Inspect refurbished show drones by batch. Check arms, shell, landing structure, motor mounts, propellers, screws, LED boards, controller boards, wiring and connectors. Ask whether the batch was repaired, mixed or matched from several fleets.
Electronic and control checks
A public show fleet depends on stable control. Confirm positioning module status, RTK/base-station scope, data-radio frequency, firmware version, LED calibration and whether the seller can show a ground-array or simple formation test.
Battery and charger checks
Battery risk is one of the biggest differences between a cheap quote and a usable package.
- Request cycle ranges instead of a single average number
- Exclude swollen, damaged or scrap batteries
- Confirm charger throughput for the target show size
- Confirm battery transport documents before choosing air freight
Proof pack before deposit
Before deposit, a buyer should receive clean photos, inspection notes, battery disclosure, test-flight or ground-array media and a list of included and excluded accessories.
