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.

Getting a Avata and FPV repaired
Crashes at speed go straight into the electronics.

FPV is a different kind of flying and therefore a different kind of damage. A camera drone touches something during a careful manoeuvre; an FPV aircraft touches something at speed. The blow then does not land in the shell but travels inwards.
Blown ESCs are the classic here. The motor jams on impact, the controller has to absorb full current in a fraction of a second, and a component fails. That is exactly what the stereo microscope is on the table for: we replace that one MOSFET instead of swapping the whole board, and that is often a difference of more than a hundred euros.
Home-built rigs are as welcome here as an Avata out of the box. You do not have to explain why there is no type number or why a cable is sticking out. Do tell us what you already changed or tried — it saves us searching and saves you money.
Repairs
What we see most on a Avata and FPV
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.
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.
