MAINTENANCE: MOTORS & TAIL
AtlasPRO User Manual 2020
ELECTRIC MOTORS
1.) Check motors to confirm they have not become loose.
2.) Check motor bell is tight and spins smoothly, if in doubt, remove all propellers and run the motor. If
any suspicious noises are detected, this may be a sign of a worn out bearing.
3.) Always listen and look for any strange or excessive vibration during operation.
4.) Check for deformities by confirming the gap between motor and motor base is even.
5.) Ensure screws used to secure the rotors are tight and the plastic components around the motor are in
good condition and none are loose.
6.) Cleaning should only be done with a damp cloth or paper towel. DO NOT USE ANY TYPES OF
CLEANING FLUID ON ANY PART OF THE SYSTEM.
TAIL SERVOS
1.) The tail motor of the aircraft stabilizes the system, while in flight, using a servo to tilt the motor.
Always check that the servo is aligned vertically and horizontally before flight.
a.) When the AtlasPRO is turned off, the tail servo is inactive and should be able to move freely. Do not
force it to move.
b.) When the AtlasPRO is switched on, the tail servo is active and attempts to maintain the propeller in
a horizontal position. Ensure that it is always clear and nothing causes interference with it while
powered on.
