V/06 · SAFETY

Safety is the first subsystem.

Nothing flies until it is safe. Our procedures, interlocks, and compliance are designed in from the first drawing, not bolted on before the competition.

V-TECH field safety kit: fire extinguisher, LiPo charging guard bag, and first aid kit

The field kit

Ready for the bad day.

Every field session carries the same kit: a fire extinguisher, a LiPo guard bag for charging and transport, and a first aid kit. We plan for the day nothing goes wrong, and pack for the day something does.

Compliance

By the book, on purpose.
