Thank you for purchasing the Vulcan Multiframe
Mantis
The MultiFrame is a very strong, light, durable airframe, and is very
straightforward to assemble.
Please follow these build instructions carefully, and we wish you
many hours of safe and enjoyable ying!
SAFETY NOTICE
Multicopters can be dangerous and pose a signicant risk of injury and
damage to property. Always take all necessary safety precautions to avoid
damage or injury to yourself and those around you!
Never y near or over buildings, roads or people.
Always ensure you have plenty of space to y with an uninterrupted view of
your machine at all times.
Always stay well clear of moving propellers.
Before ying, always check your machine carefully.
Ensure all nuts, bolts and linkages are tight and cannot come undone.
Check your propellers are securely tightened, have no chips, cracks or dents
and if they do, replace them as necessary.
Ensure all electrical connections are secure with good contacts, well insu-
lated and cannot come apart.
Make sure all onboard equipment such as batteries, cameras or any other
payload is properly and securely attached and cannot come loose, shake,
vibrate or move around during ight.

Vulcan Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide
The Mantis airframe is assembled exactly the same as a standard frame, the only difference
between a standard frame and the Mantis, is the use of the Z arm.
This type of arm raises the motor and gives an uninterrrupted clear forward view for the
camera without props appearing in the shot, even during fast forward ight. It also is a great
pilot aid, helping with machine orienataion in the air, a notoriously difcult issue for multiro-
tors.
No special ight controller setup is required when using Z arms, and they are a ‘straight
swap’ upgrade for existing Multiframes.
Arms are available in black or red anodized nish, and come in 350mm or 440mm lengths.
The 350mm Z arm is identical in length to the standard arm in a 900mm frame. A standard
1200mm frame uses 500mm arms, but the 440mm Z arm can be tted to a 1200mm frame
without detriment to ight characteristics, there is no need to chnage your existing 500mm
arms. 440mm standard arms are also available giving a frame diameter of 1080mm and
perfect symmetry of the frame.
