Today’s episode is all about buying used drones. We got a call from Rob in Florida, who wants to know if we’d buy a used drone for ourselves. Obviously, buying pre-used drones can be a great way to save money but also comes with a certain amount of risk. Is the risk worth it? We discuss the things that can go wrong when buying used equipment and talk about ways to find reliable sources of used drones. Thanks for the question, Rob! Fly safe!
