Propeller Installation
FD1 is equipped with two pairs of blades, a pair of clockwise blades (CW) and a pair of counter clockwise
blades (CCW). The propeller type is displayed for each motor. Do not install the blade on the motor that
does not correspond to it.
Installation / removal method :
Note
: Always place one hand under the motor to support it when installing or
removing propellers.
Failure to provide this support could result in bending or breaking the landing gear.
1.
Check that the propeller rotation (CW or CCW) matches the motor hub. This is
the normal direction the propellers spin during flight.
2.
Rotate the propeller in the hub until it engages, then push the propeller
downwards and rotate it 1/8th of a turn in its opposite direction to lock it. So a CW (clockwise)
propeller is locked by turning it counterclockwise.
3.
Check the propeller is completely locked by checking that the dots on the propeller and hub align or
by holding to motor hub firmly and ensuring that the propeller cannot be turned.
4.
To remove propellers, support the motor with one hand and press the propeller down and then rotate
it 1/8th of a turn in its normal direction to unlock it from the hub. So, CW (clockwise propellers) are
unlocked by turning clockwise
The blades are sharp, please be careful to avoid personal injury.
Prior to each flight, please check that the propellers are smooth all over and are correctly installed and
securely fastened.
Spin each propeller by hand to check that the motors are free of sand or salt and spin freely
