Over time, the landing feet on the VEX AIR Drone may become worn or damaged from repeated takeoffs and landings, especially on rough surfaces. If the feet appear cracked, deformed, or excessively scuffed, they may no longer provide stable support or proper cushioning on impact.
Landing feet should be replaced if:
- The material is visibly cracked or split
- The feet are bent, flattened, or no longer sit flush
- There is noticeable wobble or instability when the drone is resting
- There is increased vibration or noise upon landing
Replacing worn landing feet helps maintain flight stability, reduces impact stress on other components, and ensures consistent takeoffs and landings.
Important: Make sure the drone is powered off and the battery is removed before removing or installing a landing foot.
Removing a Landing Foot
To remove a landing foot, pull it straight out from the slot in the propeller guard.
Installing a Landing Foot
To install a landing foot, insert it firmly into the slot in the propeller guard until it is fully seated.
