Lack of drone parts in the uk

Wanted to start a few projects but due to the lack of parts what do we do. Even just keeping some of the drones flying is hard with no replacement parts. Then when you find the part they want stupid money. Love a moan

Welcome to the world of FPV. lol This has been an issue for as long as I can remember :rofl:

It’s due to a number of different issues. The chip shortage being one of them. Also the supply and demand brought on by certain foreign governments buying in mass quantities for reasons discussed in other topics here on the forum.

I used to put my email in for the waiting list and as soon as stock became available I’d buy more than I needed so I kept spares.

I’ve found it easier to find parts on Ali express rather than the usual suppliers such as HobbyRC and unmanned tech to mention a few. Prices are really good to.
