1. Page 27 HiSystems GmbH Page 55 Maintenance You as the user pilot of the ARF MikroKopter must ensure a proper operation of this aircraft To ensure a proper function of the ARF MikroKopter a review and regular maintenance of the copter is absolutely necessary before every flight A review maintenance of the copter should include e Checking on the ARF MikroKopter for damages This includes o the frame all cables all motors all propeller the antenna of the receiver as well as the complete electronic 09 20 Q 0 e Checking the tightness of o Rigger o Motors o Propeller o andall screws motors frame etc e Function Smooth running of the motors e Check all connections for correct and proper fit e Check all soldered cables for proper contact e Function of the transmitter e MicroSD Card is insert into the NaviCtrl o On the card the copter will log the whole telemetry data during flight This can help to find a problem if there was a problem Cleaning the ARF MikroKopter After the flight operation the ARF MikroKopter should be checked for possible contamination e g gras dust etc Use for cleaning the copter except electronics a soft dry or slightly damp c loth The electronics should be cleaned with a soft brush Avoid getting water on the electronics and the battery Ilo It should be avoided to start on sandy dusty surfaces Particles can get into the motor an
2. e Never catch the Kopter out of the air This may also lead to significant injury e Never turn the transmitter off during the flight The Kopter can crash and can cause considerable damage e Leave the transmitter switched on while the ARF MikroKopter is operating e When starting landing and flying make sure a sufficient large distance away from people animals and objects is ensured e Make sure the Kopter can not take off unintentionally when making adjustments If necessary remove the propellers for your own safety such as during an engine test s Do not expose the Kopter to rain moisture excessive heat cold or vibration e Do not control an ARF MikroKopter if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol e Check the tightness of all connectors and screws as well as the mechanical integrity of the ARF MikroKopter before each start flight e Never start if you have discovered a damage to the ARF MikroKopter or to the transmitter receiver e Fly with your ARF MikroKopter always in sight So you are able to respond quickly if a fault occurs by external influences Page 2 HiSystems GmbH Functions of the ARF MikroKopter The ARF MikroKopter comes with the GPS System You can use many additional functions with this GPS System Functions of the ARF MikroKopter Highly versatile For example Photo Video flight action shots inspection maintenance flights surveys documentations and much more Easy to fly wit
