Follow all the pre and post-flight procedures for a safe engagement and disengagement of the aircraft. The assembly and disassembly must be done as stated under the and sections to ensure no damage to the aircraft.

Manual Handling Precautions

  • Propeller Safety: The tri-blade propeller located at the aircraft's rear and wing-mounted lift propellers should be handled cautiously when moving the Firebird by hand.

Keep the aircraft powered off while moving it to avoid accidental propeller engagement.

  • Empennage Protection: Avoid placing undue pressure on the V-tail, especially when lifting or setting the drone down.
