Problem
Cause
Solution
Draganflyer shakes violently and
is hard to control (continued)
The rotor blades may be damaged
or loose
Replace any broken or chipped ro
tors, ensure all mounting bolts are
tight
Rotor blades are not mounted
correctly
The rotor blades labeled “A” are for
the front and back while the rotors
labeled “B” are for the right and left.
The rotor should be mounted with
the label facing up so the rotor curves
down
The circuit board may be mounted
incorrectly. The green lights face
the front of the circuit board and
the on/off switch is at the back of
the circuit board
Ensure that the front of the circuit
board is facing the motor with red
and black wires going to it
Draganflyer tries to flip over
The helicopter may be wired in
correctly
Ensure that the Draganflyer is wired
as follows: Red to front motor, Blue
to right motor, Yellow to back motor
and Green to the left motor
Motors may be worn out
Motors will need to be replaced after
extensive use. Worn motors will feel
rough when turned by hand. When
running they will smell like burning
electronics and may make a squeal
ing noise
Magnets in motors may have
dropped. This will reduce the
power output and efficiency
Use a flathead screwdriver to push
gray magnet up in the motor
Chipped or damaged rotor blades
Replace
Low flight times
If you are flying at locations
higher than 5000 feet above sea
level
The air is thinner at high altitudes so
the Draganflyer has to work harder
and is less efficient
