High humidity and sudden storms
Water damage and corrosion are common in Third Ward, especially after summer storms. Moisture gets into ESCs and flight controllers, causing shorts and erratic behavior.
How we help: We tear down water-damaged drones immediately, clean corrosion with a compressed air blower, and replace damaged components. We also apply conformal coating to protect against future moisture.
Magnetic interference near large structures
Compass calibration errors are frequent near the University of Houston and Texas Southern University, where large metal buildings and parking garages interfere with compasses.
How we help: We calibrate compasses in an open area away from metal structures, then test-fly the drone to confirm stability. We also teach customers how to recognize and avoid magnetic interference.
Limited parking in historic neighborhoods
Streets around Project Row Houses and Emancipation Park can be narrow, making it hard to find a spot for a mobile repair.
How we help: We schedule mobile repairs at off-peak times and coordinate a meet-up at a nearby lot or driveway. If parking is impossible, we pick up the drone and return it after repair.
