GENERAL INFORMATION AND TECHNIQUES
CHASSIS
ALTA 8 ships from the factory with motors precisely aligned to minimize the
difference in motor speed between clockwise turning and counterclockwise turning
motors while in flight. Opening the chassis by removing the screws that attach either
the top or bottom chassis plates affects this alignment and may reduce ALTA 8
performance.
NOTE
Do not open the ALTA 8 chassis.
Opening the chassis affects factory alignment.
All user maintainable items are outside the chassis and do not require the removal
of screws attaching the top or bottom chassis plates.
USE OF THREADLOCKER
Bolts and screws this manual identifies as needing to be removed or replaced do
not typically require threadlocking compound. This includes the screws holding on
the handle, battery retention strap studs, battery stops, closeout panels, and the top
male Toad In The Hole adapter. In addition, fasteners that attach to nuts with a nylon
locking feature (nylock nuts) do not require threadlocker.
All structural fasteners require the use of threadlock. This includes chassis screws,
lower male Toad In The Hole adapter, motor attachment fasteners, and the four M3
x 8 socket head bolts that attach the folding propeller to the motor. Typically, a low
strength threadlocker (such as Loctite Purple 222) is used on structural fasteners.
FASTENER INSTALLATION
The Freefly hex drivers included with ALTA 8 are designed to limit the torque that
can be applied to each bolt or screw and help prevent stripping the fastener head.
Thread all fasteners into their respective holes until snug. This is when the fastener
head bottoms out and lightly clamps the two mating parts together.
To prevent excessive tightening and damaging the fastener or parts, twist the driver
from the smaller diameter knurled section of the tool between your thumb and index
finger for small fasteners (under size M3) or with your thumb and two forefingers for
larger fasteners (size M3 and larger).
