Post flight
When the DeltaQuad has completed operations it should be switched off, inspected, dismantled and stored.
Flight logs should be retrieved and registered.
Switching off the vehicle
Before approaching the vehicle to switch it off note the following;
The vehicle should never be approached when the motors are spinning.
In the unlikely event of a crash, the vehicle should not be approached within 15 minutes. The battery
could have been damaged and may ignite.
Always stay clear of the propellers until the vehicle has been powered off by disconnecting the main
flight battery.
To switch the vehicle off open the canopy clip and remove the lid. Then disconnect the main battery
connector and remove the battery. The battery should be stored directly and safely.
Inspect the vehicle
After a landing, specifically a hard landing or a grass landing, the DeltaQuad should be inspected for
damage. Inspecting the vehicle visually at the landing site can help in determining the cause of any
problems that might arise in the future. It is recommended, specifically when in doubt or with visible damage,
to take pictures of the vehicle before dismantling it.
If there is any dirt on the vehicle or the propellers this should be removed with a damp cloth. Dirt on the
wings, fuse or propellers will significantly impact the performance.
Special care must be taken to inspect the propellers both before and after every flight. If there is any visible
or palpable damage to a propeller it should be replaced directly in accordance with the
section.

maintenance
Dismantle the vehicle
Dismantle the vehicle in accordance with the section. If you are able to transport and store the
vehicle safely with only the wings detached this is recommended as it will reduce the risk of assembly
problems.
