ASSEMBLY FOR FLIGHT

1.  Remove the main aircraft body from its transport container and place it on a flat, level surface. 

 

2.  Slot the T-shaped landing gear into their receptacles on the underside of the central airframe and turn 

the cam lock until it is in the locked position. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Depress the release pin on each of the collapsible GPS masts and tug gently on the GPS disk to extend 

the masts until they lock in their extended positions.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  Remove the four red plastic arm protectors at the four corners of the aircraft body where the booms 

attach. This will expose the data and power pins that make up the Propulsion ID system, so do not 
leave these pins exposed for a long time, particularly in dusty or wet environments. Store the red 
plastic protectors where they will not become dirty or lost. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.  Release the arm-locking pins by lifting the knob to the left of each corner of the airframe. Swing each 

arm outward into the extended flight position, one at a time, until the Propulsion ID power pins are 
fully engaged with the contact points at the bases of the arms, and the arm is flush against the central 
airframe. Ensure each arm is correctly locked into flight position and the bolts are firmly set by pressing 
down 

on 

each 

locking 

knob.
