What's Included: 2 - Prop Guards, 2 - Top Clamps, 6 - M2 x

6mm flathead screws.

Before You Begin: Carefully clip the Top Clamp off of the Prop

Guard, then clip the small piece of plastic off of the inside of the

Prop Guard (see "Step #1" illustration). Remove the propellers

from your Alias, noting which propeller belongs on which

motor. If this is your first time removing the propellers, there's

a small letter designation on each prop. That letter

corresponds with a letter on the frame for each propeller arm.

Step #1: Slip the RPM Prop Guard over the gearbox,

rotating it vertically to allow it to "roll" over the top of

the gearbox. Caution: The top of the Prop Guard

must face outwards (see illustration) for the

correct orientation once it's installed.

Step #2: Swing the RPM Prop Guard to the

outside, making sure the Prop Guard is below the

gearbox of the motor pod.

Step #3: Slide the Prop Guard up until the top edge of the guard lines up with the top of

the gearbox. The top section of the Alias gearbox is tapered (angled) and will "lock" in place

with the mating tapered section of the RPM Prop Guard. If it does not align with the top of the

gearbox, the guard is upside down. You will need to start over and flip the guard 180°.

Step #4: Using the included screws, attach the Top

Clamp to the Prop Guard with the rib side up.

Caution: Do not overtighten the screws.

String "Ring" Option: The RPM Prop Guards are

designed to allow a string (not included) to be used

to create a "ring" of protection around the Alias,

preventing objects from slipping between the

guards. Four Prop Guards must be used and

properly bolted in place. The best and

strongest option we've found for "string" is

unwaxed dental floss. To thread the string

properly, the string must come in from

underneath the guard (A) and through the

string slot (B). It then slips through the

opposite side string hole from the top (C)

and passes under the outside of the guard

(D). Repeat for all 4 Prop

Guards, always starting from

underneath. Once the string has

been threaded through, pull it

around the string tensioner (on

the bottom of the Prop Guards)

on 2 of the 4 Prop Guards. Tie the

string with at least a double knot,

then tension the string by slipping it

around the last 2 tensioners. The string

should be tight enough to allow some

flexibility of the guards without allowing

the string to come loose.

Caution: Do not continue to fly your Alias

after any impacts! Stop and inspect

each guard, making sure the guards

haven't been damaged or shifted out of place. If you're flying with the string ring option, check to

make sure the string hasn't slipped off or become loose. Failure to "crash check" after each

impact could cause serious damage to your Alias.
