Locate the connectors labelled GIMBAL_X (PCB-2) and GIMBAL_Y (PCB-3) on the front
side of the power board and connect the gimbal wires. Carefully guide wires/cables.
33. MAINTENANCE, CARE AND REPAIR
We provide video instructions for many spare parts. View
them on www.rclogger.com. If instructions are available,
follow them with precision.
33.1 Regular cleaning and maintenance
33.1.1 Cleaning
The »NovaX 350 is a simple but well-designed flying device. There are no mechanical parts
that need to be lubricated or require special maintenance. However, after each flight you
should clean the »NovaX 350 of possible dirt (wool strings, dust, etc.).
For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid contact between water and the
electronics, rechargeable battery and motors.
33.1.2 Maintenance and repairs
Defective components present a hazard. Replace all damaged components before flying
the »NovaX 350 again. It is important that you only use original spare parts. Non-original
spare parts can lead to damage and accidents, or may not be of sufficient quality.
33.2 Drift
Cold temperature environmental conditions may require
sensitive electronic components to reach ideal operating
temperature slower as compared to under favourable
conditions such as room temperature.
Under such cold conditions your unit may tend to drift
in any direction, increasing gradually. Small drifts in any
direction are normal, however. Drift may also be caused by
propeller wash while flying close to ground surface. Ideally,
avoid operating the unit in cold conditions (close to 32° F
and O °C respectively) to prevent product damage.
If you need to continuously trim the »NovaX 350 to ensure proper flying then this may be
due to one of the following reasons:
> A motor shaft might be slightly bent or a propeller is defective resulting in vibrations.
Either replacing the motor(s) or installing a complete new set of propellers may solve
this issue.
> Crashing the »NovaX 350, or exposing it to mechanical stress during transportation
typically causes these phenomena.
> The onboard sensor has lost its factory calibration. Typically, this is caused by a hard hit
(crashes), or exposure to high temperature. It can also be related to transport issues.
33.3 After a crash
It is strongly suggested to always inspect for damage.
Replace defective parts immediately. Defective parts can
impact properly working parts!
Immediately disconnect the flight battery after a crash.
33.3.1 Visual inspection
> An easy way to maintain the »NovaX 350 perfect condition is through visual inspection
after every crash.
