Symptoms: Cracked shell, bent arm, loose landing gear, abnormal vibration, or visible crash damage.
Likely areas: outer shell, arms, landing gear, motor mounts
Inspect the airframe before powering on and verify the exact replacement part against the model variant.
Symptoms: Motor start failure, rough spin, propulsion warning, overheating, or unstable hover.
Likely areas: motor, arm wiring, ESC board, power connectors
Check for impact damage, cable strain, and water exposure before replacing boards or motors.
Symptoms: Camera shake, gimbal overload warning, tilted horizon, calibration failure, or no camera image.
Likely areas: gimbal assembly, vibration board, camera module, gimbal flex cable
Avoid forcing the gimbal by hand and recalibrate after any gimbal or camera service.
Symptoms: Positioning drift, obstacle sensing warning, compass or IMU calibration prompt, or unstable low-altitude hover.
Likely areas: vision sensors, IMU, GPS/GNSS board, sensor flex cables
Clean sensor windows and verify calibration after shell, sensor, or board replacement.
Confirm the exact model, variant, error message, and visible damage before selecting parts. Do not substitute parts from a similar model without verification.
Remove the battery before opening the aircraft. Check for moisture, corrosion, and overheated connectors before reconnecting power.
Flex cables and coaxial cables are fragile. Route them without sharp bends and inspect connector locks before closing the shell.
After replacing gimbal, vision, GNSS, IMU, shell, arm, or propulsion parts, run the required calibration and perform a controlled low-altitude test.
