# Foldable Propeller Replacement

## Mounting

Below is a diagram of motor number designations and which propellers are supposed to be mounted. **Black Propellers are Clockwise** and **White Propellers are Counter-Clockwise**.

<figure><img src="/files/6L7y7LUpecc29LdHPpVW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **(CW) No Ring Indicator (Solid Black)** - Push down on prop and turn Clockwise to remove Prop
* **(CCW) White/Gold Ring Indicator** - Push down on prop and turn Counter Clockwise to remove Prop
* Repeat in opposite directions while aligning the three bottom tabs to replace each prop. Make sure to pull up on the propellor after turning to make sure the propellor is locked and secure.

## Propeller Type

The propeller type for your system is listed under System Menu > System Info > Propeller Type. It may be one of the following types:

* Propeller 1st Generation
* Propeller 2nd Generation (introduced in 2025)

## Replacement

Propellers can be purchased directly from Fotokite. Please contact your Fotokite sales representative for details and pricing.

For users currently using the first generation propellers and need to switch to the 2nd generation propellers, they will need to contact Fotokite for a one time configuration of their Fotokite System to adapt it to the proper flight characteristics of the new propeller. Once that is completed, customers will be able to use the new propeller models for the lifetime of the Fotokite system.&#x20;

If you have any questions, please reach out to Fotokite Support at <support@fotokite.com>.
