Introduction

If your drone has a broken propellor (diagnosed either by observation or through our troubleshooting page), replace it with this guide. There are no required tools for this replacement.

What you need

Step 1

              Battery               
  • Power off the drone by holding down the power button.
  • Remove the battery by disconnecting it from the main battery connector.
  • Press the power button again to ensure all electricity is discharged.
  • This step is imperative as it is dangerous to handle drone components with a running current!
