Scheduled Replacement of DeltaQuad Evo Maintenance Kit Components

To maintain the peak performance and reliability of your DeltaQuad Evo, it is crucial to adhere to scheduled maintenance practices, including the replacement of the components from the maintenance kit. Due to the nature of their design and usage, components such as VTOL arms, the pusher motor pod, the wingtips, and propellers incorporate moving parts and utilize lubricants for optimal function.

After approximately 12 months, these components may experience wear and tear, and the lubricants used within them can begin to dry out. This can affect the overall performance and lifespan of the drone if not addressed proactively. Therefore, it is recommended to replace these components with new ones provided in a DeltaQuad Evo maintenance kit.

By replacing these parts at the recommended interval, you ensure that your drone continues to operate at its best, maintaining flight stability, efficiency, and longevity. This proactive approach to maintenance helps mitigate potential issues before they impact your drone's performance during missions.

The DeltaQuad Evo maintenance kit includes the following components:

VTOL Arms

The kit includes four VTOL arms:

  • Two VTOL arms with clockwise rotating motors and propellers

  • Two VTOL arms with counter-clockwise rotating motors and propellers

These VTOL arms come pre-assembled with landing gear, ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), motors, and propellers balanced by DeltaQuad to achieve the lowest vibration profile, ensuring smooth and stable flight performance.

Pusher Motor Pod

A fully assembled pusher motor pod is included in the kit. This pod comes with:

  • A housing for the ESC, motor, and propeller

Pre-installed and balanced for optimal thrust and minimal vibration, the pusher motor pod provides the forward propulsion necessary for fixed-wing flight. It complements the VTOL arms' vertical lift, aiding during both ascent and descent by holding the vehicle's position.

Wingtips

The maintenance kit also contains a pair of interchangeable wingtips. Each wingtip includes:

  • One servo for precise control of the drone's elevon

  • One LED for enhanced visibility and status indication

The wingtips are designed to be easily attachable and interchangeable, allowing for quick replacements or repairs. Either wingtip fits on both sides of the drone.

Pre-installed and Balanced Propellers

It is important not to remove the installed propellers, as this would negate their pre-installed and balanced state, designed to achieve the lowest vibration profile.

All propellers in the kit are pre-installed on their respective motors and balanced by DeltaQuad. This balancing process minimizes vibration, crucial for maintaining flight stability and extending the lifespan of both the motors and the drone's structural components.
