Aircraft Assembly/Disassembly

1

Each landing gear is made of two parts (see below).

2

Assemble the first landing gear: Loosen the clamp on the horizontal tube (with rubber feet), then insert the vertical tube fully into the horizontal tube. The notches on the end inserts line up perpendicularly to the horizontal tube.

Note: If there are o-rings on the vertical tube, insert the tube so that the o-rings are on the lower half of the assembly.

3

Ensure the vertical tube is fully seated before tightening the ratcheting clamp.

4

The ratcheting arm can be pulled away from the screw to move the arm to a more convenient location when tightening. Tighten the clamp.

5

Repeat steps 2 through 4 to assemble the second landing gear.

6

The next steps are most easily done by holding the aircraft upside down with one hand and inserting the landing gear with the other.

7

Insert the landing gear legs into the corresponding sockets on the underside of the body (see below).

8

Ensure the vertical tubes are fully seated before tightening the thumb screws. The thumb screws can be pulled away from the hip and adjusted so the thumb screw points in a convenient direction.

9

Unfold the four aircraft arms into the upright position. The arms will lock into place in the shoulders. Note: The batteries are shown installed in the graphic below.

10

Lift the GPS mast into place and latch the retaining clips on both sides (see below).

DO NOT power up the aircraft prior to performing the following procedure. Accidental energizing of the propellers while performing this procedure can cause severe personal injury.

1

Locate the correct propeller for each motor. Two of the aircraft’s motors spin clockwise, and two spin counterclockwise. The two motor and propeller types are keyed and color-coded to ensure that the propellers are mounted on the correct motors.

2

Counterclockwise motors have a silver propeller mount, while the clockwise motors have a black propeller mount. A counterclockwise motor with a silver mount is shown below.

3

Place each propeller on its corresponding motor, ensuring the captive screws in the propeller align with the corresponding screw holes on the motor. Verify each propeller is fully seated on the motor. Refer to the photograph below.

4

Use the included green-handled screwdriver to tighten the captive screws in the propellers, ensuring not to over-tighten.

5

Use the included torque wrench to tighten each captive screw to 0.9 NM.

6

Verify the propellers are fully seated and secure, and parallel to the top surface of the motors.

7

Perform these steps in reverse order for aircraft disassembly.
