C1 Drone Components
Aircraft Frame
The C1 cleaning aircraft is built on a carbon-fiber hexacopter frame. The frame is analogous to a planes
“fuselage,” and should be treated with care. The carbon fiber frame provides a rigid platform to attach the flight
controller, motors, esc’s, propellers and sensors.
The aircraft frame is specifically designed to support the aircraft and all ancillary components.
Pilots should not move, adjust, attach or remove any part or piece of the aircraft. The aircraft is
balanced to ensure the center of gravity is directly below the flight controller and IMU. If the aircraft
becomes unbalanced, it will lead to a catastrophic failure or crash.
The frame is built with 3 quintessential parts:
1. Body
2. Arms
3. Landing gear.
Arms:
The arms of the C1 cleaning drone house the aircrafts ESC’s and provide the mount points for the motors. The
ESC’s control the speed of the props down to the micro-second. The arms should always be fully elevated and
locked into place when preparing for flight. If the arms become unstable, twist or do not lock into place, DO
NOT FLY. Over time, and dependent on usage, arm mount screws may need to be tightened to ensure tight fit
and proper flight. Vibrations can cause screws to loosen over time, and pilots should always ensure the arms
are fully locked into place without any play.
Landing Gear:
Landing gear allows the drone to safely take off and land with proper clearance from the ground. Landing gear
is made up of 4 carbon fiber poles which support the aircraft frame. The landing gear is specifically designed
to allow for maximum hose flexibility in flight. With this landing gear design, the hose should never get
snagged on the landing gear or inhibit a safe landing.
The landing gear is permanently attached to the aircraft and can not be removed. Pilots should ensure screws
remain tight over time, as vibrations can cause screws to loosen.
Batteries
The C1 cleaning drone requires dual batteries for each and every flight. This battery setup provides a
necessary redundancy to pilots. In the event of a battery cell error, the aircraft should remain airborne. Battery
care is VITAL to continued success with the C1 drone. This operations manual will cover proper battery care,
storage and charging to ensure your batteries maintain the maximum endurance or life span.
Each battery is a 6s 16000mah with operating voltages between 3.3v - 4.2volts per cell. Each battery has 6
cells wired in serial. Battery cell voltages are displayed as an aggregate voltage, rather than a per cell voltage.
Each battery operates at a maximum aggregate cell voltage of 25.2 volts. When both batteries are installed,
