OPTIX FAQ
Welcome to our FAQ area for LiteHawk OPTIX. Tips and tricks, along with step by step User Guides are right here. Check our Overview video for even more info (on the way)! |
Rotor Blade Care Your OPTIX AUTOMAX rotor blades come really well protected, by the sturdy guards that completely enclose the blades. Completely protected from bumps into any flat surface. There are things that can defeat this level of protection, branches and sticks, things that are pokey. Crashing into a bush may still break a blade. To remove and replace one isn't too hard.
If you are replacing the rotor blades with new ones. Make sure that you are putting the correct blade back on. They are marked with an A or B and that is what must be placed back on the correct motor.

Removing the Camera Pod Your Camera Pod is removable. If you are not using the Camera, you can remove it to reduce weight and power consumption. This will give you a little more flight time.

Replacing Motors The OPTIX does not need to have the motors soldered in place, they have a plug in end that makes repairs easy. Take careful note, or a picture of the wire routeing of the Motor that you are replacing. Carefully loosen the plug in with a small flat screw driver, by lifting at the edges until it is loose, then lift away. Don't pull on the wires, they could break. A little screwdriver for a lever at the bottom of the motor to get it started upward, and a pair of tweezers to help with the plug ins may help.

Optical Sensor Removal The Optical Sensor Lens, is held in place with a snap on cap. Press the clips inward and lift the cap off at the same time. A second set of hands is really helpful for this.
The Optical Sensor Board is held in place by 2 plastic clips and 3 positioning pins. Press the clips outwards.. very carefully. Again, another set of hands will really help. Have someone lift the Board up off of the pins a soon as the clip clears the board. Don't stretch the plastic clip to far, it could break. The board should now just lift up and off.
|
Pressure Sensor and the ESC Removal The Pressure Sensor is just held in by 2 screws, just lift out. It is soldered to the ESC board.
To remove the ESC, just remove the 4 motor plug ins, the 2 light bar plug ins, and the Optical sensor plug in. remove the 2 screws holding the ESC in place, and lift from the 2 locating pins.
