Contact your local distributor if you prefer the replacement to be done as a paid service on your behalf.

Step by step instructions
1. Replace the power unit on 2.4 GHz
Step 1 Prepare the WingtraOne for the replacement
- Make sure the WingtraOne is not powered. Power off the drone is necessary to avoid short circuits when the electronics are exposed.
- Insert the middle stand and place the WingtraOne on the ground or on a table.
- Locate the drivetrain to be replaced.
Do not place parts or tools on your drone. This can cause surface damage. A mouse pad is a good alternative if you want to keep things on your drone while performing replacements.

Step 3 Place the new drivetrains
- Reattach the propellers if required following the instructions in the article Service: propellers.
