REGULAR CHECKS
As described in the guideline and in the
pre-flight check list
, the general condition of the system has
to be tested before each flight.
Carefully check the tightness of all screws regularly – especially the landing feet that must hold the
motor rails properly into position and the nuts that hold the propellers tight to the motors. Make sure
to tighten the screws on the central unit only finger tight.
