Hello,
So after few flights i can already see dust covering some key points on my MA, even tho i only hand launch it, and i would really like to hear some tips how should i clean it.


Is there a way to dissasemble the gimbal so i can clean it? Its already covered by the dust in some areas where its really difficult to do a proper cleaning, especially those rubbers that hold it.

How i can clean a fan inside? Can i open the aircraft without voiding the warranty?

And what about motors? Some oil?

Thanks in advance, sad theres nothing about maintenance anywhere .

To be honest none of what you are asking/suggesting. You can use soft compressed air if you really believe to need to clean areas that you cannot access otherwise. But do not disassemble or open anything as long as you want to have warranty.

The rubbers at the gimble seem really sensitive. Mine are covered with dusk aswell but I'd never try to clean them because it's really risky to mess something up.

No dont take it appart, number one it will be hard to re-assemble + you will void your warranty + you will never get it back together correctly

Compressed air is the best way for the tight areas, camera cloth for lens, dampened cloth with isopropyl alcohol is best for removing exterior dirt and bugs.
