Weight Distribution#

Understanding weight distribution helps with:

• Transport planning
• Storage solutions
• Vehicle compatibility
• Balance considerations

Component Weights#

• Frame Assembly: ~29 lbs (13.2 kg)
• Battery (2.6 kWh): 25.8 lbs (11.7 kg)
• Battery (4.8 kWh): 49.0 lbs (22.2 kg)
• Propeller: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg)

Clearance Requirements#

Operating Clearance#

When operating, ensure:

• Front: 2m (6.5 ft) clear space for propeller
• Sides: 1m (3.3 ft) each side
• Rear: 1m (3.3 ft) behind pilot

Storage Clearance#

For storage (disassembled):

• Floor Space: 60 x 45 cm (24 x 18 in)
• Height: 150 cm (5 ft) for vertical storage
• Access: Allow space for assembly/disassembly

Transport Guidelines#

Vehicle Requirements#

The disassembled SP140 fits in:

• Standard car trunks
• SUV cargo areas
• Van interiors
• Truck beds
• Roof cargo carriers (with weather protection)

Packaging#

When transporting:

1. Battery: Keep in foam case, upright or on side (never upside down)
2. Frame: Can be bundled together
3. Propeller: Store separately in protective case
4. Electronics: Keep dry and protected from impact

See After-Flight Care for detailed transport instructions.
