ALTURA ZENITH AIRFRAME GUIDE
THIS GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND
STORE IN A SAFE PLACE
Congratulations! The Altura Zenith frame you have chosen is among the finest products on the
UAS market. Carbon fiber is a very special material that requires particular care during storage
and flying.
WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions may result in a catastrophic failure of the
frame and/or its components while flying, which may result in serious personal injury or
death.
Unlike metal parts, carbon composite parts that have been damaged may not bend, bulge or
deform; a damaged part may appear to be normal to a cursory glance. After any high force load,
like a crash, or other impact to your airframe, thoroughly inspect all the parts of your aircraft,
and use the following procedures to inspect carbon composite parts.
Check for scratches, gouges, or other surface problems.
Check the part for loss of rigidity.
Check the part for delamination.
WARNING - A damaged carbon fiber part can fail suddenly, causing serious injury or
death. Inspect the carbon fiber airframe for damage frequently. SURFACE DAMAGE TO
THE FRAME, SUCH AS SCRATCHES, GOUGES, OR CHIPPING, MAY BE AN INDICATION
OF DAMAGE, WHICH MAY IMPAIR THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME. If you
suspect a carbon fiber part is damaged, contact Aerialtronics before flying or take the
aircraft to your dealer for service.
If you are in the slightest bit unsure... If you have any doubts about the integrity of a part, do not
fly the aircraft.
Be very careful when handling carbon fiber parts that are suspected of damage. When a
composite part is damaged, there is a possibility that individual fibers may be exposed. Carbon
fibers are thinner than a human hair, but quite stiff. If the point of one of these fibers is pressed
against your skin, it could pierce your skin like a needle.
WARNING! Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite
materials, including the frame and any carbon fiber or composite components. Any
damage may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic
failure. This damage may or may not be visible in inspection. Before each flight, and after
any crash, you should carefully inspect your airframe for any dents, fraying, gouging,
scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not fly
your aircraft if it shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you fly any
further, take your Altura Zenith to an authorized Aerialtronics retailer for a complete
inspection.
