Parts inventory

Your spare-parts bench: motors, ESCs, props and everything in between, with install tracking.

The master parts inventory is your bench: every spare motor, ESC, frame, camera and prop, whether it's waiting for a build or already installed.

Adding parts

  1. Open Gear → Inventory.
  2. Click Add part and choose the category: drone parts, transmitter parts, goggle parts or other parts.
  3. Record the purchase cost: the money fields drive per-hour costs in the ledger.

Installs

A part is either on the bench or installed in a build:

  • Install a part onto a drone from the drone's detail page (or the parts page).
  • Uninstalling returns the part to the bench, and its history stays.
  • Installs record the date, so you know how long a part has lived in a build.

Where costs go

Installed parts contribute their cost to the host drone's cost per flight hour. Parts on the bench don't count toward any rig's cost until they're installed; they're spare stock.

Warning:

On free accounts the master inventory is limited. Full parts tracking and installs are a Pro feature, and while billing isn't live yet, Pro is limited to developers and testers. See Billing & tiers.
