GOLDEN EAGLE SYSTEM

FIELD MAINTENANCE

& SCHEDULE

Field-replaceable items are parts that can easily be replaced in the field without requiring special expertise or 

tools other than those provided in the Field Spares Kit. Repairs, upgrades, or software updates that cannot be 

performed in the field are beyond the scope of this manual, and doing so may void conditions and terms of the 

warranty. 

FIELD REPLACEABLE ITEMS

NEEDED)

Clean all sensors and the vehicle with a damp cloth and a can of air 
Fully discharge all batteries and charge back to full capacity
Verify that the gimbal and camera connectors and securely seated

AFTER 150 FLIGHTS

(OR AS NEEDED)

Retire battery pack after 150 charge/discharge cycles

ROTOR ARM REPLACEMENT

Damaged or worn rotor arms require the entire assembly to be replaced but can easily be done so in the field.  

The arms are prewired with the motor installed, and only need to be locked into place and secured with a 

single Torx T8 screw per arm.  The Torx T8 screwdriver is included in the Field Repair Kit.

Arms are keyed to the appropriate sockets on the airframe so that CW and CCW arms cannot be inadvert-

ently interchanged.

REPLACEMENT 

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the drone on its back on a table or workspace where the antenna 

can hang off the edge to prevent being damaged. 
Remove the single T8 Torx screw on the motor arm using a T8 Torx 

screwdriver.
