Before operating, always carry out an inspection of the drone to detect any damage or abnormality caused by transportation or previous flights. This regular inspection is necessary for safe flight and to prolong the drone’s lifetime.
Before the first flight:
● Check whether propellers are clean, undamaged, properly fastened, and positioned.
Run your fingers (with caution – they might be sharp!) along the trailing edge and leading edge to detect any irregularities (cracks, scratches, and dents). Carefully bend the blades a bit to detect hidden splits.
Check if the blades are correctly mounted. They should be uniform in tightness, have no horizontal or vertical play, and still be easy to fold and unfold.
Even if there is only minor damage to the propellers, takeoff is prohibited.
● Inspect the payload condition, arms, base structure condition, and whether the bolts are properly tight.
You should inspect the drone before every takeoff and after every landing (with particular attention to the propellers) to avoid accidents, damage, or device failure.
