i.

 

Propellers  

Always balance all propellers used on your X PlusOne.  Balanced propellers will greatly improve 

performance and allow clearer images from onboard cameras.  To balance propellers, follow the 
recommended procedures below.  

1.

 

Insert a rod into the hole in the center of the propeller  

TIP:  For best results use a propeller balancer.  

2.

 

Allow propeller to freely rotate and make note of which blade points up, this is the “light” blade   

 

3.

 

Add weight to the light blade.  This can be done by adding a small piece of tape or nail polish to 
the underside of the propeller blade.  

4.

 

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the propeller balances horizontally on the rod  

 

 

ii.

 

Non-Serviceable Components  

There are several components of the X PlusOne that are not individually replaceable.  These parts can be 

found in the wing assembly (main wing foam, wing spars, battery compartment, and spar insert) and the 
pylon assembly (main pylon foam, and pylon spars).  

To replace these components:  

1.

 

If the component to be replace is in the wing, remove both pylons and set them aside  

2.

 

If the component is in a pylon, remove that pylon and set the other pylon and wing aside  

3.

 

Remove the cover (either wing cover or pylon cover) by removing the screws holding it in place 
and sliding the cover off
