Airframe Maintenance

Replacing the body

Disassembly of the old airframe

1. Ensure the battery is disconnected from the

quadcopter. 

2. Remove the 2 machine screws from each propeller 

and remove the propellers. 

3. Remove the 32 1.5mm hex screws from the bottom 

of the frame to separate the upper and lower body 
pieces.

4. Unplug the compass sensor from the fl ight control 

board. Remove the landing gear with compass sen-
sor and place it in a safe area away from magnets. 

NOTICE:

 Do not allow the compass sensor to

get near a magnet. Any magnet, including those in 
the 350 QX2 AP motors, can damage the compass 
and cause it to work incorrectly. If the 350 QX2 AP is 
fl own with a faulty compass, all GPS functions will 
be compromised. 

5. Unplug the GPS receiver from the fl ight control 

board and remove the battery tray assembly.

6. If you are replacing the GPS components, remove 

the foil from the GPS receiver and unplug the GPS 
antenna from the GPS receiver. 

7. Remove the fl ight control board from the airframe.

8. Remove the receiver.

9. Remove the motors and ESCs from the airframe.

Before installing the components into the new airframe, 
inspect all the components for any obvious damage or 
burnt smells. Check the motors for smooth bearings 
and inspect all the propellers for chips, burrs or cracks. 
Replace any parts in question. 

Installing components in the new airframe

1. Install the motors and ESCs, making sure to match 

the wire colors on the connectors.

2. Install the receiver.

3. Install the fl ight control board.

4. Install the tray assembly.

5. Install the GPS receiver and GPS antenna and plug 

the cables into their corresponding sockets.

6. Assign the motors and ESCs according to the

ESC and Motor Assignment Procedure.

7. Install the landing gear and connect the compass 

to the fl ight control board. If you replaced the 
compass or believe that it may have been impaired 
by a magnetic fi eld, you will need to perform the 
compass calibration procedure. 

8. Mount the top of the airframe.

9. Install the propellers, paying attention to the

direction of rotation as indicated by the arrows 
molded in the frame and on the propellers for each 
motor.
