Motor and Electronic Component Checks

Check for unusual motor noises or failure to spin, indicating damage.

Inspect wiring and connectors for disconnections caused by impact.

Battery Inspection and Testing

A crash can shorten battery lifespan or cause safety hazards due to internal damage.

Use a multimeter to test voltage and look for swelling as a sign to replace the battery.

Post-Repair Testing and Calibration

After repairs, recalibrate the compass and sensors for accurate flight.
