I will definitely be onboard for the new shafts.  I assume that these are not made by Parrot?

Re: Reasons To Buy From Drone Shop

So, to support a fellow forum member I wanna buy some items from you.
A sack of axles, bearings and propellers. Maybe a motor or two.
All depending on the slimness of my bank account and your prices ofcourse.

Are you on eBay and how do I find you there?

Today an arm of the Central Cross came loose...might need that part too (and any other part destroyed in the process of trying to fix it)  wink

Re: Reasons To Buy From Drone Shop

I got my drone from these guys and I can honestly say, what a bunch of helpfull, friendly and professional folk. I ordered my drone just before 2pm and I received it the next day.
As soon as I get paid again I wanna order a few more goodies.
Also I would like to volunteer to be a test pilot the new shafts.

Thanks for all your help guys and please keep up the good work.
One very satisfied customer in Aberdeen. smile

You only live once, enjoy it.

Hey r0bErT4u, why are you so stuck on titanium prop shafts?  (I've seen a few post by you concerning them.)  I would think that titanium shafts could introduce problems that you may not have considered.  My guess is that they are probably weak by design.  Stronger shafts would probably mean breaking motors or motor housings and possibly damaging the cross during a crash.  The shafts are relatively inexpensive and are easily replacable.  Replacing motors or crosses would definitely be more expensive, as well as, time consuming.

This next statement is not intended to offend but if you're easily offended, I apologize now.

You sound like the dog relentlessly chasing the skunk.  He puts all of his energy into catching that black & white beauty.  But, when he catches his "prize", he soon realizes that he really didn't want what he thought he wanted.   lol   You may "think" unbreakable (or nearly unbreakable) shafts are the answer.  But when you have to start replacing more expensive parts, I think you'll see the advantage to having a "weaker link" in the chain; an inexpensive link.  It's just like having fuses or fuse links in an electrical circuit. 

Just saying....

No worries.  I feel that there should be upgrade options available to those who want them.  'Sealed Bearings Mods' have improved flight times, motor life, etc.  'Performance Propellers' are stiffer, giving better performance, but shatter easily.  'Plastic Gears" wear down too easily.

I/many do realize the Pros/Cons of modifying their AR.Drones.  After I get more piloting experience, I'd like an option to upgrade within the Parrot AR.Drone platform before moving on to the more robust multi-rotors.

Thanks for your advice,

@r0bErT4u

Re: Reasons To Buy From Drone Shop

O its ok, I dont mind paying a little extra for the safety og using PayPal and I've done so for years with no problems.
Just like I dont mind paying a little extra for supporting a fellow forum member.
I'll have a look at your paying options and order some parts next salary.
Till then I'll settle for recommending your shop on the net wink

Thanks for your anwer!

still awaiting samples. as with anything titanium it is expensive and i do not want to place a huge order. there are many opinions regarding the titanium shafts moving the load on to something such as the motor shafts. waiting for samples to test this theory before placing a big order and finding they really are not worth the money. unfortunately an order will need to be placed worth ££££'s rather then ££'s or £££'s to actually get them low enough for everyone to buy them.  sad  please bear with me but hopefully the wait will be worth it in the end  wink

Thanks for the update.  She hasn't crashed since falling from the top of the REI Pinnacle.  The latest firmware/updates are the best.
