13. Maintenance and Care
To warrant operational safety of your flight model, regular inspections and maintenance are required.
1. Check if any screws have loosened or components are no longer firmly screwed or glued on.
2. Observe the clean concentric dunning and firm seat of the propellers. The propellers must not show any visible damage.
3. Check that the motors run smoothly. If manual rotation causes a “rolling” or “gnashing” feeling, the respective motor
must be replaced.
4. Check the correct and secure fit of the adhesive pads and 3-axis gyro system. Loose or wobbly gyro systems lead to
uncontrolled movements of the quadrocopter.
5. Check all cables. Especially observe the connections between the speed controllers and the motors.
Important!
If damaged or worn parts must be replaced, only use genuine spare parts in your helicopter.
The spare parts list is located on our website www.conrad.com in the download section to the respective product.
Alternatively, you may request the spare parts on the phone as well. The contact information is included at the beginning of
these operating instructions, chapter “Introduction”.
