Drone Maintenance Checklist | Tips for Building a Comprehensive List

Important Drone Maintenance Checklist Tips for a Long Drone Life

Today, we talk about building a drone maintenance checklist.  If you want your drone last as long as possible, after all, you need to take care of it.  This includes changing propeller blades, maintaining batteries and keeping the motor in good shape. 

In order to help you all prevent breaking your drone, we talk about a few key aspects of drone maintenance.  Replacing propeller blades, maintaining the motor and switching out the batteries when necessary will ensure that your drone lives a long, happy life.

Thanks to Mark in Pittsburgh for the question!  We’re glad to have you on board Mark!  Fly safe!
