Mainboard and flight controller
Broken traces, burnt components, memory shaken loose. We solder on the board itself rather than replacing it, even when the part is no longer supplied.
Your drone back in the air.
Independent workshop for DJI and other brands. We repair down to circuit board level — including aircraft written off elsewhere.
- Five working daysAverage turnaround from the moment you approve the quote.
- Twelve months’ warrantyOn the repair itself and on every part we fit.
- Ship from anywhere in BelgiumDe Panne to Arlon. You get a label to print; the outbound leg is yours, the return is included in the price.
- Diagnosis before you decidePhotos of what we found and a fixed price, then your go-ahead.
Aircraft
Which model is sitting on your shelf?
These are the families that reach us most often, with the faults that come with them. Click your aircraft and read what we usually find.
Mavic
The gimbal is almost always the first thing to go.
Read more →Air
Impact damage to the front arms, time after time.
Read more →Mini
A light aircraft, so wind and moisture do more damage than a fall.
Read more →Avata and FPV
Crashes at speed go straight into the electronics.
Read more →Osmo and gimbals
Small axes, many movements, then play.
Read more →Enterprise and Matrice
Here one replacement board costs more than a complete consumer aircraft.
Read more →Phantom and Inspire
Out of production, so repairing is often the only route.

What ends up on our bench
Eight kinds of work we handle daily. Don’t see your problem here? Just describe it in your own words.
Gimbal and camera
Small motors that keep shaking, ribbons torn at the fold, an image hanging crooked or soft on one side. Often the result of thousands of folds.
Motors and ESCs
A motor that stutters, an arm that will not spin up, controllers blown after a crash. We replace the failed component, not the whole module.
Battery and power
Cells out of balance, a loose charging port, aircraft that shut down after a minute. We measure every cell separately and tell you honestly whether replacing is better.
Arms and shell
Broken arms, hinges with play, a cracked underside after a hard landing. Usually the most visible damage and rarely the most expensive.
Water and salt damage
Out of a ditch, a pond or the North Sea. Fast ultrasonic cleaning is the difference here between saving and binning. Do not switch the aircraft on to test it.
Firmware and software
Aircraft frozen during an update, activation that keeps failing, error messages that keep returning. Often solved without replacing anything at all.
Sensors and calibration
IMU and compass that refuse to calibrate, obstacle sensors giving constant false alarms, an aircraft that hangs crooked in flight.
Our speciality
Component level, inside a drone
Nine times out of ten a single component worth a few cents has failed. We work under a stereo microscope with hot air and a fine iron: blown MOSFETs, torn traces, BGA chips shaken loose after an impact. That takes time, but the original electronics stay in your aircraft and the bill stays low. And it still works when a manufacturer stopped supplying the board long ago.
- Trace repair with 0.05 mm copper wire under a stereo microscope
- Hot-air station with a fixed temperature profile per chip type
- Measurements with scope and lab supply before and after the work
- Ultrasonic cleaning for moisture, salt and corrosion damage
- Works even when the original board is no longer supplied
How it works
From request to back in the air
1
Tell us what happened
Fill in the form or call. Within one working day you get an answer with a first estimate and a shipping label.
2
Send the aircraft
Batteries can come with it, but not loose in the box. The confirmation email explains exactly how to pack.
3
You hear what is wrong
We open the aircraft, take measurements and send photos of what we found with a fixed price. We only start after your go-ahead.
4
Back with you
On average five working days after your approval, tested on a real flight outdoors and returned insured.
Pricing
Roughly what does it cost?
Prices start from the amounts below, VAT and part included. What you actually pay is fixed in the quote you get after diagnosis — nothing is added later.

What you can count on
Twelve months on our work
The warranty covers the repair itself and every part we fit. New damage or a new crash falls outside it, logically, and we say so up front.
Original parts where possible
We buy from the manufacturer as long as they supply. Where that fails, we name the alternative and explain why we consider it acceptable.
No approval, no repair
If you find the price too high, we send the aircraft back untouched and you pay only the inspection. Nothing is ever done that you have not seen in writing.
Regions
We work for the whole of Belgium
Every region sends us different work. Pick your town and read what we repair there most often.
Questions
What customers ask us most
I live in Wallonia or Brussels, is that possible?
Yes. We work for the whole country and correspond in Dutch, French and English. For shipping your postcode makes no difference: the same label, the same turnaround.
Can I simply drop by with my drone?
Stadenstraat 35 is a workshop, not a shop. There is no counter and no fixed opening hours for visits. Sending works faster and lets us plan the work better. If it really has to be in person, call for an appointment.
And if my aircraft cannot be repaired?
You hear that with photos to back it up, and you pay only the inspection. You then choose: the aircraft comes back, or we have it recycled properly and keep the still-usable parts for other repairs.
Do I lose my manufacturer warranty?
If your aircraft is still under manufacturer warranty, send it there first. We come into play once that warranty has expired, or when the manufacturer refuses the repair, swaps the aircraft for a refurbished one, or quotes a price close to a new machine.
Is my footage kept?
Preferably take the memory card out before sending. If the aircraft has internal storage, we do not touch it unless you explicitly ask us to recover files. That is separate specialist work and is charged separately.
