    P4P interchangeable parts

    I repair drones on the side for fun and a bit of money. I was thinking it might be a good idea to buy a virgin drone from DJI to swap parts with a broken drone to diagnose issues in the broken drone. I would then buy the needed part online after I figure out which one is malfunctioning. So...
