2.4  Propellers

Solo uses two types of self-tightening propellers, indicated by the color of the circle at the center of the propeller. 

2.4.1 

Attaching

Attach the propellers with silver tops to the motors with a silver dot on the top of the motor shaft, and attach the 

black-top propellers to the motors with black dots. Make sure to remove the paper labels from the motors before 

attaching the propellers.

Silver-top propellers tighten clockwise; black-top propellers tighten counterclockwise. Check the lock and unlock 

icons on each propeller to see the correct directions for tightening and removing.

Camera Settings

For best results, first adjust the camera settings for inverted orientation and medium field of view. (Setting the field 

of view to medium ensures that you won’t see the propellers in the frame.)
