Landing Gear Bungee Installation

  1. Install the bungee assembly onto the top clamps at the end of each inner arm.

  • Use the M3 x 10mm button head screws provided to mount the carbon plate, with the bungee facing downwards.

  • We use loctite 242 and torque the screws 9in-lbs.

  • The bungees are installed on the right and left side of drone, inside of arms. Bungee placement is indicated with red arrows in the photo below.

2. Install the bungee hooks onto the legs

  • Slide the hook over the top of the carbon tube, with the hook pointing down toward the rubber foot

  • The top of the clamp should be 42mm from the end of the carbon tube

  • Use an M3 x 10mm screw, provided, to tighten clamp onto carbon tube

TO USE:

While installing landing gear onto drone, rotate the gear so the hook aligns with the bungee cord. The cord can be pulled over the hook to secure the leg to the hub.

It is still required that the landing gear collets are tightened onto carbon tube, the bungees are used as a secondary precaution to ensure a leg cannot be lost during flight.
