AMPLIFICATION
Prior to start, check the surrounding area to ensure people and objects are clear of
ALTA 8 and its props. Also ensure that there are no people or objects between the
ALTA 8’s takeoff location and its intended flight path.
WARNING
ALTA 8’s props spin at a high RPM and the ends of the blades
move at high speeds. ALTA 8’s props can cause severe injury
or death or cause damage to objects while they are rotating.
Always ensure the area surrounding the props and ALTA 8 is
clear of people or objects prior to starting the ALTA 8’s motors.
ALTA 8 can only be armed for flight when it is in Manual Mode, and the Home Switch
is set to RTH Off. To arm, hold full low throttle and full left yaw.
WARNING
Do not approach ALTA 8 while it is armed.
