1

Fold Hover arms

Fully unscrew the gray rings on each hover arm.

Fold the HOVER arms into their folded positions as shown.

2

Removing V-Tails from the Fuselage

Unlock the latch on the underside of each v-tail.

Carefully slide off the v-tails from the back of the fuselage.

Gently place the v-tails back into the case as shown.

3

Removing Wings from the Fuselage

Unlock the two latches on the underside of each wing.

Carefully slide the wings off the side of the fuselage.

Gently place the wings back into the case as shown. Be sure to straighten the ailerons before attempting to place the wing into the case.

4

Battery Removal

Open the latches for the battery compartment marked “BATTERY” and lift the compartment’s cover.

Unplug, unstrap, and remove the battery from the compartment.

Close battery compartment.

Store batteries in battery safe bag (e.g. lipo-safe bag).

5

Storage and Transportation

Carefully place the fuselage back into the case as shown. Be sure to move the HOVER arms out of the way to ensure the Firebird™ does not hit them.

Replace the large foam blocks on top of the fuselage as shown, ensuring no parts of the aircraft press into the foam blocks as they are placed. If this occurs, readjustment of some of the parts may be required.

Close the top of the case.

Turn the latches on the case clockwise and flip them down to lock the case.

Always transport the Firebird™ in its case and be sure to handle it with care.

The Firebird™ and its auxiliary equipment, including ground stations and radio controllers, should always be stored in a clean and safe location when not in use to avoid degradation.

Avoid placing heavy objects above the Firebird™’s storage case.
