Follow the Pre-flight Check (“PRE-FLIGHT CHECK” on page 13) thoroughly to prepare
the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS for take-off. Once airborne, perform flight maneuvers in all
directions and observe if the UAV performs as expected. If it does, land the system and
follow the Post-flight Check (“POST-FLIGHT CHECK” on page 16). If you notice any
impaired flight performance, immediately land the UAV and try to identify the cause. If
in doubt or if you require professional support, please contact support through your
reseller. Please include a detailed description of your observation and photos if
applicable.
6.1.4. Motor rail replacement
If a motor rail needs to be exchanged, follow the procedures outlined in this chapter.
To order a motor rail, please contact your dealer. There is no difference between the
left and the right motor rail of the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV.
In addition to the motor rail, the following tools and materials are required:
• T6 torx screw driver (included in the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS case)
• Loctite 248 (included in the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS case)
• 2 x Screw M2x18 mm TX, FK (re-use from the motor rail that will be replaced)
The following figures show step by step instructions how to exchange a motor.
In the single images
• red arrows and red circles are used to emphasize a specific region or detail of a
part or assembly,
• white arrows are used to indicate a movement (straight arrow) or a rotation
(bend arrow) of a part or assembly.
