Maintenance

1. Propeller Care

The drone's propellers are designed to be flexible and durable. However, in case of damage:

  • Inspect propellers regularly for cracks or bends.
  • If a propeller is damaged, carefully remove it and replace it with one of the included extra blades. Ensure the correct propeller (A or B) is placed on the corresponding motor.
  • Keep propellers free from hair, dust, and debris to ensure optimal flight performance.

2. Battery Care

  • Always use the provided USB charging cable.
  • Do not overcharge the drone's battery. Disconnect once fully charged.
  • Store the drone and controller in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

  • Drone not responding/pairing: Ensure both drone and controller are fully charged. Turn both off, then on again, and re-attempt the pairing sequence (throttle up then down).
  • Unstable flight/drifting: Perform a calibration. Refer to the original manual for specific calibration steps, which usually involve holding both joysticks in a specific position. Check for damaged propellers and replace if necessary.
  • Short flight time: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Battery performance may decrease over time with repeated use.
  • Propellers not spinning: Check for any obstructions (hair, debris) around the motors or propellers. Ensure the drone is powered on and paired correctly.
