Beams

After removing Stribog UAS from packaging, its body should look as follows:

Folded Stribog UAS

Unfold the beam in direction showing in the picture below.

Unfolding direction of the beam

After folding the beam, look for the indicator of correct lock state, which can be found on the bottom side of beam locking mechanism. Correct lock state is shown in the first picture below.

CORRECTLY locked beam

WRONG beam lock state

Make sure, that locking indicator is in the correct state. Incorrectly locked beam may lead into unwanted behavior during flight and can cause crashing of the drone.

Repeat previous steps to unfold all beams into its correct positions.

Fully unfolded drone can be seen in the picture below:

Mounting batteries

Don't forget to charge batteries before mounting them.

You can find more information about battery charging in section Batteries and Charging.

Always make sure, that you are using same type of batteries, which are equally charged!

It is recommended to charge both batteries simultaneously.

Do not charge batteries in parallel.

Take two equally charged batteries and slide them halfway into the guide rails on the top of the Stribog UAS.

Note, that safety latch is in the opposite side of sliding direction.

Correct way of battery mounting

Pull the safety latch and push the batteries fully into the guide rails until securely seated.

Direction of pulling safety latch

Opened safety latch

Ensure, that safety latch successfully locks in place.

Correctly locked battery

Now repeat the process to mount second battery.

You can also plug in the batteries into the XT60 connectors ( 1 ) located nearby latch mechanisms.

For safety reasons, it is recommended to plug in the batteries only when you are going to use the drone at the very moment.
