16. Maintenance and cleaning

Clean the exterior of the model and the remote control with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Never use abrasive cleaning 

agents or chemical solutions, as these may damage the surface of the case.
The propellers must move smoothly and motor shafts should not be bent or have any play in the bearing. Propellers 

that are cracked or bent or from which small pieces have broken off must always be replaced.  

Replacing the propellers 

The propellers (1) are simply mounted on the motor shafts 

(2) of the drive motors and can be levered off the shaft 

carefully using a flat screwdriver. 

When doing so, be careful not to deform the motor shaft. 
When selecting the new propeller, always pay attention to 

the direction of rotation (see also Figure 5). 
The new propeller should be positioned on the motor shaft 

straight from above and pushed carefully down as far as 

it will go.

 

Important!

 

Do not use any unnecessary force or unsuit-

able tools.

When replacing mechanical parts, only use original spare parts from the manufacturer. The spare parts list can be 

found on our website in the download area for the respective product.
