To set up ALTA 8 for flight, remove it from the case and remove the prop protectors.
Stow the six boom retention clips by folding them down. The clips only fold in one
direction and are spring-loaded to stay in open and closed detented positions.
Unfolding the booms is most easily accomplished by unfolding opposite pairs
partially. Then unfold the opposite boom pairs completely. ALTA 8 can become
unbalanced while unfolding booms individually, so unfolding opposite pairs reduces
this possibility.
Once unfolded, push on the boom latches until they audibly click, indicating the
booms are secure. There should be little to no slop in the hinge. Check that the
receivers and the electrical connectors that attach to the receivers are secure.
For information on installing isolator cartridges and setting up payload mounting
locations, refer to the Isolator Cartridges and Configuring Top or Bottom Mount
sections of this manual.
