4. Installation Guide
Follow these steps to properly install the landing gear on your Ruko drone:
- Identify Attachment Points: Locate the designated attachment points on the underside of each motor arm of your drone. These are typically near the base of the motors.
- Prepare the Drone: Ensure your drone is powered off and the battery is removed before beginning installation. Place the drone on a flat, stable surface.
- Remove Existing Components (if any): If your drone has existing landing gear or protective caps at the attachment points, carefully remove them. This may require a small screwdriver (not included).
- Attach New Landing Gear: Align each landing skid with its corresponding attachment point. Gently press or slide the landing gear into place until it clicks or sits securely. If screws are involved (check your drone's specific design), use the appropriate screwdriver to fasten them, ensuring they are snug but not overtightened.
- Verify Security: After attaching all four landing skids, gently tug on each one to ensure it is firmly secured and will not detach during flight.

5. Operating Instructions
The landing gear is a passive component. Once installed, ensure it is securely attached before every flight. It provides a stable base for takeoff and landing, elevating the drone to protect the camera and underside from ground contact.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Before and after each flight, inspect the landing gear for any signs of damage, cracks, or looseness.
- Cleaning: If the landing gear becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Replacement: If any part of the landing gear is damaged, replace it immediately to ensure safe operation of your drone.
7. Troubleshooting
- Landing Gear Feels Loose: Re-check the installation steps. Ensure all screws (if applicable) are tightened and the gear is fully seated.
- Difficulty Attaching: Verify that you have the correct landing gear for your specific drone model (refer to Section 2: Product Compatibility). Do not force the parts.
