Maintenance and repair of the eBee X
Check 1: Motor and Servos
TheeBee X uses a brushless DC motorto turn its propeller and generatethrust. The
servos are the two actuators connected through a servo connection mechanism
to both ailerons.
The motor must be clean and spin smoothly without friction to function correctly.
The servos must turn smoothly. Damaged servos can prevent the drone from fly-
ing correctly and thus it is important to ensure their proper functioning.

To check the motor and servos, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that there is no sand or other obstructions within the motor. If there
is something blocking the motor from spinning smoothly blow some air
through the motor to dislodge the obstruction.
2. Turn the servos and ensure that they move smoothly and havethe full range
of motion.
In case of doubt, record a short video and follow the instructions in Reporting a
problem with your eBee X on page 89 for advice.
