Daedalus Magpie V2, Manual

When using your Magpie in Scotch tension, the motor will be facing
forward and the pinion pulley(s) will have just enough space between

If necessary, this wheel can be flat-packed to aid in portability. To
disassemble, you’ll need to use the 3mm Allen wrench included
in your spares tool kit. Simply remove the flyer, pop off the motor
mount, and loosen 4 screws to separate the front and rear pieces from
the body tubes.
