What to do if you experienced your first crash

An easy way to maintain the products perfect condition is through visually inspecting the ”RC EYE One S” 

even after an apparently just slight crash. One of the most common causes is a propeller where the tracking 

is out of its alignment. The likely cause for this is a bent motor shaft. Even a slightly bent shaft may have 

serious consequences if not rectified quickly.

You can either replace the complete motor, or, what works in almost all cases, use a pair of flat pliers and 

carefully bend the main shaft back into position. Keep in mind; if you hit an object at high propeller rotation 

speed, it is highly likely that a shaft is bent. This is normal and requires your immediate attention!

You can easily visually check if a propeller’s tracking is out of alignment. Hover your RC EYE One S around 

2 meters away from yourself at level with your eyes and observe that you can only “see” one straight 

rotating line per propeller. If one of the propellers appears to be visible “twice” (two lines), the tracking must 

be fixed immediately!

What happens if a tracking misalignment is not fixed? Well, obviously one motor will have to work much 

harder, draws much more power and eventually gets hot and, even best efforts have been made during 

product design to prevent most such cases, the flight controller may burn at some point later.

It is strongly suggested to always inspect for damage.

replacing the propellers

attention!

observe the rotating direction of the respective motor and the choice of the 

corresponding propeller without fail. If these are incorrectly chosen, the model will 

not be able to fly and will act in an erratic way when next started! Loss of guarantee/

warranty! The rotating direction is marked on the propellers (“l” or “r”). The mark 

“l” or “r” points up. The propellers marked “l” must be installed on the motors that 

turn leftwards (counter clockwise). The propellers marked “r” must be installed on the 

motors that turn rightwards (clockwise).

If a propeller is damaged in a crash or other action, replace it immediately. This also applies if there are any 

fine tears or grazing in the propeller. Due to the high speed, material parts could come loose if the propellers 

are damaged and this could lead to damage to or endangerment of the environment.

1.  To replace a propeller, pull the damaged propeller from the motor shaft and replace it with a new one. 

The propellers must not be pushed completely onto the motor shaft. Keep about 0.5 mm distance from 

the motor housing.
