At this time, a new payload such as a gimbal, camera system, isolation damper, or other
can be installed. For this, simply install payload rails through the payload, and re-tighten the
m3 bolts.
These bolts must be secured before flight!
Mount the payload to the aircraft using the 12mm payload
rails. Tighten the m3 bolts on the payload mount to secure
the payload.

PRISM was designed to house electronics on both the top and bottom of the main frame.
These electronics are protected from both moisture and dust with a removable cover,
known as the canopy. Therefore, there are two canopies: one to cover the top of the frame
and the other to cover the bottom of the frame. These canopies are identical and can be
mounted either on the top or the bottom of the aircraft. The canopies are attached via
four mounting points, which can easily be rotated for easy removal. Each canopy has two
cooling fans to allow air to circulate, which is essential in hot climates. Lastly, each canopy
has a gasket which helps it seal to the frame to protect the electronics from the elements.
In order to gain access to the electronics and remove the canopies:
