The C1’s hexacopter design does offer protection and redundancy in flight by offering 6 motors. The drone can
still sustain flight if one motor fails mid flight. When one motor fails, the drone will start to spin aggressively.
Pilots can inhibit spin by actuating the yaw command in the opposite direction of the spin. The drone will not
stop spinning but can still land.
Aircraft motors should remain clean and free of debris. Prior to any flight, Pilot in command should rotate
motors and props. The motors should spin freely and silently. If motors make noise or do not spin freely, you
must clear the debris in the motors prior to flight. Any material can inhibit the motor from spinning, which is
why it is VITAL to clean the drone and motors after every cleaning flight.
Propellers
The C1 drone is outfitted with 6 propellers that spin up to 10,000 rpm while in flight. The folding propellers offer
significant advantages over fixed propellers. The folding propellers offer additional stability and reduced noise
via micro vibrations sustained in flight.
Propellers should always be stored in a folding position. Prior to any flight, the Propellers should be unfolded
to create a straight line. Do not let the propellers be unfolded by starting the drone motors. Over time this will
cause significant vibrations and cause the aircraft to age faster than it should.
Once the Aircraft is turned on, the propellers should not be touched by any individual. Do not touch the
propellers upon landing until the aircraft has been powered down. Never attempt to touch the motors while
spinning or in flight.
Lucid Drone Technologies recommends having a spare set of propellers. Propellers should be replaced after
50 hours of flight. Approximately that is 150 - 300 flights dependent upon operating conditions. Propellers are
the most sensitive part of the aircraft. If propellers become unbalanced at any point, the props will fail and
cause a catastrophic failure.
If propellers strike any object, they should be replaced immediately. If the C1 drone hits a
bush, tree branches or even small vegetation, replace the propellers.. Propellers are cheap
to replace, the C1 drone is not.
Never touch the propellers when the drone is powered on. Never approach the propellers or
the drone, under any circumstance, when the propellers are in motion.
Spray Nozzle
C1 cleaning drone offers a detachable spray nozzle that connects to the drone. The spray nozzle should only
be affixed to the drone prior to a flight. The spray nozzle should not stay affixed to the drone while in storage
or transport.
The spray nozzle attaches to the aircraft via a quick connect propeller, located beneath the main frame of the
aircraft. The spray nozzle offers multiple tips to empower users for various spraying applications. The primary
nozzle tip will provide a flow rate of 6.5 - 7.5 gallons per minute.
