Drone

Folding the Arms

1. Fold the front arms backwards until they sit close to the body of the drone.
2. Fold the rear arm down until it is parallel to the body.

Replacement

Should one of the fitted propellers become damaged, it can be replaced by removing the screw from the top of the propeller before sliding the propeller off the motor shaft. Refitting is the reversal of removal. It is important for the correct blade to be placed on the correct motor, or the aircraft will not fly correctly. Each blade is marked with an A or B on the top to indicate which motor it corresponds to.
