No returns, no warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for \u003cstrong\u003eone returned Diatone Roma F5 V2 5\" freestyle quad (4S, analog, PNP with GPS)\u003c\/strong\u003e. It came back to us, then has sat on the shelf since about 2022. We could pay to freight it back to the overseas supplier, but we'd rather it went to someone who'll use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe good news:\u003c\/strong\u003e it looks \u003cstrong\u003enever flown\u003c\/strong\u003e, in brand-new condition, with the full accessory kit still bagged. Anyone handy with Betaflight could score big here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow the price works:\u003c\/strong\u003e it starts at $280 and \u003cstrong\u003edrops every night at midnight\u003c\/strong\u003e for 30 days, down to a $120 floor. The floor price only lasts 24 hours. If nobody grabs it, the price goes back up to $280 and the 30-day countdown starts again. Wait too long and you could miss it, or have to wait another month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paperwork has long gone, but our best recollection is this: around 2022 our tech was setting this quad up for a customer and \u003cstrong\u003eran into trouble getting it working\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than keep the customer waiting, he swapped them into a different drone, and this one got parked. So there \u003cem\u003emay\u003c\/em\u003e be a setup or hardware issue (FC, receiver wiring or VTX), or it may just have needed more time on the bench than anyone had that day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e no flight marks, scuffs or prop strikes that we can see.
