9.5. Changing a cage element
A protective cage with damaged elements becomes softer and more fragile. Not maintaining the cage can
significantly reduce its collision tolerance.
You must replace cage elements whenever a rod or connector is broken.
The ELIOS 3 cage is composed of 6 different parts, which are:
● A top Hexagon (biggest)—letter A.
● 4 Top Pentagons—letter B.
● 2 Triangles (side ones)—no letter.
● 5 Bottom Pentagons—letter C.
● 1 Bottom Hexagon—letter D.
● 1 Cage Bottom opening (Carbon fiber part).
Here is the step-by-step procedure on how to change a pentagon in the drone’s cage:
● When you need to replace a pentagon, make sure to pick the right one, and try to add it to the
structure.
● Then with a cutting plier, cut the zip ties, and remove the broken parts and zip ties.
● After you have replaced the new part and zip ties, tie them by hand. Please keep in mind that the zip
ties have to be placed from the inside of the cage in order for the head of the zip tie to remain inside
the cage. To tie them better, you can use the flat plier, and use the cutting one, to remove the part of
the zip tie that isn’t needed.
ONLY USE FLYABILITY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS.
