6.1.2. Caring for the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV
Please consider the next points in order to keep the UAV in good condition; so it will be
ready for use every time.
• Strict compliance with the Safety Guidelines and Safety Precautions ensures
that defects are found before a flight (UAV and safety check, pre-flight check
and post-flight check, see “UAS AND SAFETY CHECK” on page 11).
• We recommend an annual check from the manufacturer, during which the
system is fully tested. For details please contact your reseller or Intel support.
Cleaning
If necessary, you should clean the UAV after the mission, and before storing.
• Use a soft lint-free cloth (e.g. microfiber) for cleaning the outer parts (motor rails,
canopy, propellers) carefully.
• If indicated you can moisten the cloth with warm water, to which you can add a
mild dish-washing detergent if necessary.
• A small, soft paintbrush can be used for dry cleaning.
• For cleaning (especially the motors) and drying you can also use canned
compressed air, which is available at many computer stores.
