Introduction

This fan keeps the navigation, control, and camera components of the drone cool during flight. The fan may need to be replaced if it stops working due to wear or damage from foreign objects. This can be quickly diagnosed by noticing loud, raspy sounds, extra vibration, missing fan blades, or the drone quickly becoming hot. Typically, these issues will appear after a particularly hard crash.
