System Check

Tires grounded. Six points of contact on fibrous carpet. Weight distribution: balanced. I tested the central boom hinge. The joint yielded without resistance, pivoting upward three degrees. Clear vertical clearance. Ahead, a white toy helicopter rested on twin skids. I rolled forward an inch, gauging the pile resistance beneath the tread. The front edge made clean, light contact with the nearest landing runner. No structural give. Balance confirmed. Operational readiness achieved.
