Repair questions
Know the next step.
Practical answers before you start a repair or plan a custom build.
Before the bench
A clear starting point.
How do I start a drone repair request?
Tell us your aircraft’s make and model, what happened, and the issue you are seeing. Email Julian at julian@citadeldrones.com. Include photos and any repairs or changes already attempted.
What repairs are you taking on?
The current focus is straightforward FPV work: wiring, connector soldering, and simple component replacements. Gimbal assembly replacements are also considered by model, with compatibility and calibration requirements confirmed before acceptance.
Do I need to know which part has failed?
No. Describe the symptoms and what happened. We can discuss whether there is a straightforward next step or whether the fault is likely to require specialist assessment.
Can you repair my particular aircraft?
Send the make, model, and fault details first. For a custom FPV aircraft, include the parts list you have. Brand or model alone does not establish whether a particular repair is suitable.
Can you replace a gimbal assembly?
Gimbal assembly replacements are considered by model. Send the aircraft model, damage photos, and any replacement-part details. We confirm compatibility and the calibration requirements before accepting a job; some models may need specialist support.
Do you offer advanced board or internal gimbal repairs?
Advanced circuit-board repair, microsoldering, and internal camera or gimbal repair are outside the current repair focus. Complete gimbal assembly replacements are considered separately, subject to model, compatibility, and calibration review.
How much will it cost, and how long will it take?
Cost and timing need to be discussed for the particular job. Include the aircraft, symptoms, parts you own, and any deadline in your inquiry. Confirm the proposed work before arranging intake.
Should I buy parts or send the aircraft now?
Start by contacting Julian. Share any proposed replacement part and confirm the scope and intake arrangements before buying parts for the repair or sending the aircraft.
