Mounting the Gremsy Vio F1
1
Align the payload dovetail connector
Align payload dovetail connector with the aircraft dovesocket quick release mount and insert the dovetail into the dovesocket. When the dovetail is fully inserted the safety latch will click. This is an indicator that the payload is fully inserted into the quick release mount.

Lock the quick release lever
Push the quick release lever on the side of the dovesocket towards the back of the aircraft. You will feel the tension of the quick release lever get tighter and it should be hand tight prior to hitting the dovesocket housing.
