Hi all

Been flying drones for a couple of years on and off, just getting back into flying after a break of 1 year.

Currently own a DJI Mavic 2 Pro (not operational due to a fault) and a DJI Mini 2.

I decided to get back into the hobby and now fly under Article 16, hoping to gain a lot more experience over the coming months.

Hi @MarcusB :wave:t2:

What’s wrong with the Mavic 2? Is it repairable?

From memory its a esc error (motors won’t fire up) currently pondering whether to repair or just replace with a 2nd hand drone. DJI have advised to send it to them but it’s out of warranty and the cost may be more than a replacement.

@PingSpike I’m going to send it to the Drone Doctor to get a quote, if it’s within my budget i’ll get it repaired as it’s a good drone to fly.
