Ground Handling

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 Assembly and Disassembly 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.
