Maintenance and repair of the eBee
3. Switch the drone on by connecting the battery.
4. Connect to eMotion. Ensure that ‘Manual control mode’ is set to ‘Full Man-
ual control’ and that the ‘Ignore RC signals’ setting is not checked⁵³.
5. Switch the remote control on.
6. Move the right stick on the remote control and check the aileron motion.
The ailerons must smoothly and quickly follow the stick. When the stick is
not moved, the ailerons must stay still. When travelling from one end to the
other, fast or slow, the ailerons must smoothly follow without twitching.
7. Hold down the drone against the flat surface with one hand to prevent it
from moving. Gently move the left stick on the remote control to spin up
the motor and propeller. The motor should run smoothly without making
excessive noise.
8. When done, switch the remote control off.
In case of doubt, take a short video and follow the instructions in section ‘Report-
ing a problem with your eBee’ on page 160 for advice.
Check 2: Inertial sensors
The inertial sensors are used by the autopilot to compute the attitude (i.e. its ori-
entation in space) of the drone. The attitude is displayed by the artificial horizon
in the Flight Monitoring tab of eMotion. To check the inertial sensors, follow these
steps:
1. Switch the eBee on by connecting the battery and connect to eMotion.
2. Put the drone on a flat surface (typically an office floor) and check that the
artificial horizon is level.
3. Take the drone with your hand and put it in different orientation. Make sure
that the artificial horizon displays the corresponding orientation.
