All spare PHX parts can be purchased from the Sentera webstore.

Wings

You can’t fly without wings.

FSK Restock Kit

This kit includes spar joiners, propellers, JB Weld plastic bonder, Gaffers tape, and Pitot tubes.

Wing Pins

These are easy to lose and break, it is important to have a few on hand.

There are protective films available for the PHX. These films are designed to protect the thin foam parts of the wings, as well as the areas that interact with the ground during landing.

The films are made from 3M automotive grade abrasion resistant material.

The films can be easily installed by the user with the help of the linked video.

Inspection

Regularly inspecting the PHX and its components helps ensure that any damage is found and repaired before the aircraft needs to fly next.

Airframe

Inspect the fuselage, wings, tail, and spar joiner for cracks, tears, component separation, holes, etc. Repair or replace any components that are damaged.

Inspect the battery bay and ensure it is free of obstructions that may prevent the battery from seating completely. Verify the battery straps are present and in good condition.

Electrical Connectors

Inspect the Fuselage side and wing side connectors for damage, debris, or other such items.

Verify the wing side connector is free to wiggle left, right, up, and down inside of the wing root.

Inspect the payload bay and verify the payload interface is not worn-out.

Mechanical Connections

Inspect the fuselage side ball studs and the wing side receptacles for damage, stiffness, and debris that may impede the locking mechanism from working properly.

Inspect the control surface linkages and verify they are connected and undamaged.

Inspect the payload bay & payload. Verify the mounting components are not worn out or loose.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the PHX helps remove dirt or other build up from the airframe that may reduce aerodynamic efficiency or cooling.

Surface Cleaning

The best way to clean the surface of the PHX (foam & polycarbonate) is with a damp (water) cloth. This helps remove any dirt and dust. Allow to air dry.

Clean the payload interface off by carefully removing any dust or dirt, ensuring not to scrape or scratch the interface pads. A microfiber cloth or air duster work well for this. Then wipe it with an alcohol (isopropyl) wipe.

Component Cleaning

Remove any dirt or debris that may have gotten into the spinner assembly. The spinner assembly allows air to pass through and cool internal electronic of the PHX.

Remove any sticks or similar items that may have lodged/embedded themselves into the foam.
