Payload integration best practices
When integrating your payload it is recommended to stay within the payload bay, and as much as possible
inside the fuselage. The DeltaQuads EPO foam is easy to modify and is also easy to glue. When installing a
device that needs to sit outside of the vehicle (such as a camera gimbal) it is recommended to stay inside
the fuselage as much as possible. External objects can cause drag and will make the vehicle perform less
efficiently.
It is recommended to after installing an external object by a few percent, and
slowly decrease the value based on the vehicles performance. The vehicle should fly at an average pitch
angle between 3 and 8 degrees when flying level.
increase the cruise speed
If the payload requires power it is recommended to install additional BEC units and not draw power from the
primary avionics. An additional BEC can be installed by soldering it onto the wires that also power the
avionics BEC.
If the payload consumes significant power the parameter should be reduced by the
amount of energy the payload is estimated to consume over the course of an entire LiPo discharge.
BAT_CAPACITY
It is recommended to perform a when integrating any additional payload containing any
electric or metallic components.

Onboard computer integration
The onboard computer exposes mavlink locally and over the 4G VPN network on UDP port 14550. If
integrating additional applications on the secondary computer, make sure your application does not flood
the onboard computers CPU, this could result in loss of Telemetry and/or DSPS functionality.
A Connector Expansion Set is available from the Vertical Technologies store. This set will enable you to
expand a connector with 3 additional signal wires in wings that do not contain radio or video transmitters.
The connectors are located between the fuselage and VTOL modules, and between the VTOL modules and
the wings.
