![]() If you are 100% certain there is no damage to the propellers you can fly the AR Drone at eye level and carefully watch each propeller. Inspect each propeller for cracks or other damage (if you find any cracks or chips in the propellers DO NOT FLY with them). One is to just spin the props by hand and at eye level look to see if any wobble in the prop shaft is present. These problems can be determined in a couple of ways. After a number of crashes, the propeller drive shafts could be bent or the propellers are damaged / warped. (1.0 / 2.0) You may notice the AR Drone wobbling a bit or it will drift and not hold a stable hover. AR Drone takes off but seems to be unstable and somewhat noisier than before. Then check that there doesn’t seem to be any wobble in the prop shaft by unplugging the battery and spinning the propellers a few times by hand (see tip 5 if you have a bent shaft).ĥ. (1.0 / 2.0) See tips 1 and 2 also check the motor gears for any broken or grit / dirt binding them up. All motors are spinning but the AR Drone flips over. After trying all this and the motor still does not turn, you might have blown the motor, ESC, or the motherboard.Ĥ. Follow the instructions in tip 2 above and hopefully that should put you back into the air. Also check that there doesn’t seem to be any wobble in the prop shaft by unplugging the battery and spinning the propellers a few times by hand (see tip 5 if you have a bent shaft). If pressing the reset button doesn’t solve this one, first check the motor gears for any broken or grit / dirt binding them up. You have to be fast on this because without all the motors spinning on launch, the AR Drone will only make it about a foot or two into the air and do a nasty backflip (hopefully not into something). (1.0 / 2.0) This is a fairly rare phenomenon but it can happen in a flight just after a crash. Accidentally shorting out the AR Drones circuit board by using something like a paper clip could cause damage that will require the circuit boards replacement Note: We recommend a nonconductive tool (toothpick or small plastic rod) for the “in-field drone reset tool”. The button is a fair distance down inside, but with steady hands you will be able to push it with the “in-field drone reset tool”. ![]() But if the AR Drone 2.0 still has issues, the reset button can be found under the battery through a small hole in the battery tray. (2.0) Normally it is not necessary to push the rest button after a crash, just calibrate the AR Drone 2.0 as told in tip 1 (2.0) above. Pressing the RESET will recalibrate the sensors and will almost always get you back flying again. If you are using AR Drone Flight for Android, the Emergency button on the top will become a Reset button when the AR Drone is not flying. You will need an “in-field drone reset tool” (a toothpick for example). (1.0) If you are using Parrot’s FreeFlight app, then you will need to press the reset button on the bottom of the AR Drone. ![]() Then take off and allow the AR Drone 2.0 to hover, once a nice hover has started click the “calibrate” button again and allow the AR Drone 2.0 to spin 360 degrees.ĭoing the above allows the AR Drones gyros and sensors to reset and allow a good flight. On your flight app find and click “Calibrate” before taking off. After connecting the battery place the AR Drone 2.0 on as level of a surface you can find. (2.0) Before every flight, crash or not, always calibrate the AR Drone 2.0. If all is well at this point, you should be good to go. (1.0) Before every flight, crash or not, always do a Flat Trim, then, once you launch, let the AR Drone hover for about 10 seconds before flying. ![]() ![]() Tips that cover both the AR Drone 1.0 and AR Drone 2.0 will have (1.0 / 2.0). The tips below will have (1.0) for the original Parrot AR Drone or (2.0) for the current Parrot AR Drone 2.0. That’s when you need to try some alternative solutions. While this may work most of the time, other times the drone won’t level properly, one motor might not spin up, or some other problem will come up. In many situations, you just need to place the AR Drone back on a flat surface and start over. ![]()
