the frame | |
all cables | |
all motors | |
all propellers | |
the antenna of the receiver | |
the complete electronics | |
- Checking the thightness of
Booms | |

All screws (motors, frame, etc.) | |
- Function / smooth running of the motors
- Check all connections for correct and proper fit
- Check all soldered cables for proper contact

Cleaning the aircraft:
After each flight, the drone should be checked for possible dirtiness (ie. dust, moisture, insects etc.). To clean the drone (except the electronics), use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. The electronics should be cleaned with a soft anti-static brush. Always abstain from getting moisture on the electronics and the battery.
Warning: It should be avoided to take-off on sandy / dusty surfaces. Particles can enter in the motors, in such environments, and cause damages or early wear.
