GHOSTDRONE 2.0 uses 2-bladed 8.5-inch self-tightening propellers. Propeller nuts have
two colors, silver and black. Each indicates different rotating directions.
Icon Explanations
LOCK: Tighten the propeller in this direction.
UNLOCK: Remove the propeller in this direction.
Installation
1. Put the aircraft upside down on soft surface to avoid scratches.
2. Match the silver nut propellers with the L motors (with silver motor shaft), and tighten
the propellers according to the LOCK instructions.
3. Attach the black nut propellers to the R motors in the same way.
Disassembling
Keep the motor deadlocked in place with one hand and remove the propeller according
to the UNLOCK instructions.
Propeller Guards
It is optional to use the propeller guards.
Installation: Place the guards over the aircraft. Use the screwdriver to tighten the 3
screws.
Disassembling: Unscrew the three holding screws and remove the guard.
