MA2 Cooling Fan

[Laborous]

About three minutes after powering up the drone, the cooling fan comes on. Is this normal?
I’m inside the house reviewing settings with a Youtube video with the drone connected to the controller and the room temp is about 68 deg.
From what I can decipher from posts on the forum, this is normal to keep the motherboard cool, can anyone confirm?

Yes. That is normal.

Anytime I have the drone powered up in the house for the purpose of playing with settings, I have a small desk fan blowing on the drone.

I would like to think this helps a bit with keeping it cool.

Stay safe!

its also a good idea to have a desk type fan blowing over the drone to help keep it cool ,and also when the batteries are being charged, have it blowing over them and the charging brick

Thanks for your quick response, I won’t have to return the drone!

Well, be sure to return it to the sky. That is really the only time these little critters are truly happy..?

I have a laptop cooling stand with a built in fan ... that may just become my landing pad.
