Upon landing, disarm the motors by holding minimum throttle and full left yaw. This is
typically done on the left radio control stick by moving it to the bottom left corner with
mode 2 controllers. Disarming can only be done while in Manual Mode. Once the motors are
stopped and disarmed, the Orientations Lights will dim indicating it is safe to approach
ALTA X.
{% hint style="info" %} Only approach ALTA X after confirming that it is disarmed by
verifying the Orientation Lights have dimmed. {% endhint %}
The downwash from the propellers can disturb debris. This debris can be ingested by the
propellers or motors and cause damage. After the flight, ensure there is no damage to the
propeller blades and that the motors still spin freely and quietly. Take extra care when
operating in areas with large amounts of debris, such as sand, dirt, or gravel.
After flight is also a good time to check the condition of battery packs. Always refer to the
battery manufacturer’s recommendations for inspection and replacement intervals or
requirements.

Keeping ALTA X on the payload or landing gear easily facilitates the folding process as ALTA
X may be turned on the Toad In The Hole adapter while folding the propellers and booms.
Release each boom latch and then fold the booms inwards. Fold the propeller blades such
