MOTOR ALIGNMENT
ALTA 8’s motors are aligned at the factory at an angle of ±2.5°. This slight angle
improves aircraft yaw authority and allows clockwise and counterclockwise turning
motors to spin at similar speeds. This alignment can be lost when opening the ALTA
8 chassis or if a boom needs to be replaced.
If the motors need to be realigned, follow the realignment procedure, then verify
realignment was successful using the ALTA Flight Data Viewer, available at
freeflysystems.com.
To perform a realignment, Freefly recommends using a small digital angle gauge
with a flat surface so it can rest on the bottom of the motor mount (for example, the
Wixey WR300 angle gauge).
MOTOR REALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
1. Place ALTA 8 on a level surface.
2. Place a digital angle gauge on the chassis next to the boom facing outwards.
3. Zero the angle gauge.
4. Starting at motor 1, place the digital angle gauge on the flat surface of the
motor mount with the gauge facing outwards.
