1. To avoid any line coming into contact with the aircraft, ensure a 1-2m line
(drop loop) is tied into your rig to create a clearance between your line and
the aircraft.
2. The leader can include multiple hooks and sinkers. The sinker can be at
the top or bottom of the leader (below the drop loop)
3. Tie a Safety Clip into your rig, which can detatch in an emergency.
4. Allow slack between the aircraft and rod to avoid tangles during take-off.
5. In windy conditions, we advise using your reel's line drag on the loosest
setting. This will add weight to the overall payload (below) but keep your
line taught.
6. Ascend to an altitude of at least 15m before flying out, to avoid line
contact with any waves.
7. Always watch the aircraft and be ready to release the payload.
8. Never exceed the 1kg maximum safe payload, use lighter rigs when
starting out and if flying out longer distances (400m+).
Line Drag: Line drag can be used to keep your line taught when flying out, it is
especially useful in windy conditions. When using, set your reel to the loosest
drag setting. The effect of line drag and other variables means the payload
weight increases the further out you fly.
Aeroo Safety Clips are designed to release your payload from the aircraft under
tension. This works in addition to the electronic release.
There are two tension settings for the safety clip:
• Small attachment clip (<500g payload)
• Large attachment clip (>500g payload)
A custom loop can also be tied to create a custom release tension.
Safety Clips can be used for trolling baits, pull deliveries, or for emergency
payload detatchment in the event of a weight overload or snags.
