33. MAINTENANCE, CARE AND REPAIR
We provide video instructions for many spare parts. View
them on www.rclogger.com. If instructions are available,
follow them with precision.
33.1 Regular cleaning and maintenance

33.2 Drift
Cold temperature environmental conditions may require
sensitive electronic components to reach ideal operating
temperature slower as compared to under favourable
conditions such as room temperature.
Under such cold conditions your unit may tend to drift
in any direction, increasing gradually. Small drifts in any
direction are normal, however. Drift may also be caused by
propeller wash while flying close to ground surface. Ideally,
avoid operating the unit in cold conditions (close to 32° F
and O °C respectively) to prevent product damage.

33.3 After a crash
It is strongly suggested to always inspect for damage.
Replace defective parts immediately. Defective parts can
impact properly working parts!
Immediately disconnect the flight battery after a crash.
