Drone Storage

Each aircraft configuration includes a custom-built case for safe storage and transportation. Storing your aircraft requires following specific pre-storage procedures to ensure it is secured properly.
 

Important: Payloads and peripherals such as gimbal cameras, sensors, and LiDARs should be removed prior to storage and placed in a separate dedicated case.

Transport cases for the Harris H6 Electric include foam inserts molded to protect the airframe.

Storage Instructions:

• Booms: Fold each boom inward. Direct propellers for motors 5, 6, 4, and 3 into the center of the airframe, and propellers for motors 1 and 2 outward.
• Antennas: Lower the GPS masts and remove all antennas from the booms, frame, or legs.
• Landing Gear: Lift the aircraft and fold each leg inward. If coaxial cables are mounted, turn them inward to prevent damage.
