and thus it is important to ensure their proper functioning.

To check the actuators, follow these steps:
1. The motor must be clean and spin smoothly without friction to function
correctly. Ensure that there is no sand or other obstructions within the mo-
tor. If there is something blocking the motor from spinning smoothly blow
some air through the motor to dislodge the obstruction.
2. Make sure the left stick of the remote control is all the way down to keep
the motor off⁵². Place the eBee at the edge of a flat surface and keep the
area around the propeller clear.
Caution: The propeller on the eBee spins at high speeds and can
cause deep cuts if it comes into contact with exposed skin. Always
wear gloves and glasses when any work is done requiring the battery
to be connected to the drone.
