The motor bracket will be fixed on the motor base using silver screws.
The propeller adapter will be fixed to the top of the motor using hex screws.
The ring and the pillar protection nut will be located at the top of the adapter.
Repeat this operation for all 4 motors.
The tools needed cut the square tube into 4 pieces of the same length 280mm-395mm.
Because the recommended motor-280mm is the minimum lengthto-
The distance between these motors and the propeller is 560mm.
I keep the extra 115mm to connect the propeller saver, but this is optional.
The distance between the two holes in the arm on my center plate is 20mm.
The distance between the two relative holes of the motor support is 34mm.
So I drilled four 3 from one end.
5mm hole center for 5mm, 25mm, 221mm and 255mm.
The first 2 holes are used to attach the arm to the substrate.
The last two holes are used to connect the motor.
Adjust the distance between the first 2 holes according to the distance between the holes on the center plate.
Connect the motor assembly to each arm using hex nuts and bolts, Allen keys and pliers so that the motor wires point to the center of the quadcopter.
Repeat this step for all four arms.
The required tool puts the arm assembled in the previous step on the middle plate to form the \"x\" shape.
The arm is attached to the adjacent arm at a 90 degree angle.
Connect the arm to two center plates using hex bolts, nuts and washers.
I will attach the landing gear at the end.
Tools needed to weld the battery connector: batteries mentioned in the Assembly list (
5000mAh 3s1 p 20C)
The discharge plug has 4mm bullet connectors.
These connectors are not directly compatible with the XT60 connectors used in most cases.
Therefore, we will weld a small converter in these components.
4mm bullet connector pair * 12. 3.
5mm female bullet connector * 2 (3.
5mm bullet connector compatible with XT60 connector).
Alternatively, you can use the female XT60 connector. 3.

Similarly, Weld one end of two black lines at the bottom of the module.
Insert the Heat Shrink tube in all four wires.
At the input, weld a male XT60 connector with red and black wires to check the polarity of the connector.
On the output side, weld the female XT60 connector again with red and black wires to check the polarity of the connector.
Welding connection for heat shrink two XT60 connectors.
Apply a layer of hot glue to the power module to insulated the welding connection.
The electronic speed controller is used to control the speed of the motor.
We need 4 ESCs because there are 4 motors.
The rated current of ESC is the maximum current, voltage and input frequency they can handle.
The ESCs given in the list of components comes with 3.
5mm bullet connector is connected at both ends.
The input of ESC enters the power distribution.
The output side enters the motor.
The servo cable is to be attached to the motherboard for issuing commands.
Put ESC on your arm.
Connect the output of ESC to the motor.
The polarity here is not important.
If any two pins are switched, the motor will simply rotate in the opposite direction.
Slide the input side cables of all ESCs between the two boards.
Maintain proper polarity and connect 3.
The 5mm terminals of the power distribution board go to the input of ESC.
The red line of ESC goes to the red connector of the breakout board.
Similarly, the black connector also uses a black wire.
Slide out the XT60 connector from one side.
At present, embryonic stem cells have not been firmly fixed on the body.
We will do that later. The APM 2.
Banggood\'s 5 kit comes with a shock absorber kit to protect the flight board from vibration caused during flight.
It is made of 2 plates and 4 rubber pads.
The bottom plate is attached to the frame.
The top plate supports the APM plate.
The required tool takes the bottom plate and uses a screwdriver to insert the protruding part of the rubber pad into the four corner holes of the plate.
Repeat the same steps and connect the top plate to the assembly.
Cut the double sided tape into two small pieces and stick it on the top plate.
Remove the insulating cover of the tape and properly connect the APM board to the center of the top plate. The APM 2.
Ublox LEA comes with the 6 kits mentioned in the component list
Built-in compassbuilt 6 hour GPS.
The GPS module comes with a stand to connect it.
Assemble the bracket as shown in the figure.
While connecting the module to the body, make sure that the triangle at the top of the module points in the forward direction.
A large amount of current consumed by the motor creates magnetic interference in the wire.
Therefore, it is recommended not to connect the circuit board to the vicinity of the motor wiring.
Therefore, we will use nylon gaskets to offset the distance from the center plate.
The tools needed to connect the APM board assembly.
The APM board assembly can be connected to the body using four bolts with a spacing of 4.
5 cm from the adjacent bolts of the square structure.
If you are using a different slab drill, these 4 holes are equal to the center of the slab.
To connect the nylon gasket to the body, take four 3.
5mm bolts, insert them upside down into the corresponding hole if shown in the figure.
Press the bolt from the bottom with your finger and tighten the nylon gasket until it is firmly secured.
Repeat the process for all four gaskets.
Now put the APM board assembly on top of the gasket and use four 3 to fix them.
5mm bolts, making the \"forward\" direction marked on the APM board point to the forward direction of the quadcopter.
Connect the GPS components.
You can fix the GPS components anywhere near the APM board. Drill 2 (3. 5mm)holes 2-
Take apart and secure the GPS assembly station using two 3.
5mm nut bolts as shown in the figure.
Stick this double sided tape in the cavity at the bottom of the GPS module.
Carefully paste the GPS module at the top of the bracket so that the triangle arrows align along the forward direction of the four helicopters.
The 3DR radio telemetry consists of a receiver and transmitter.
As shown in the figure, the transmitter has wires coming out of it.
There is a male USB output at the end of the receiver.
The package also comes with 2 antennas that will be connected at the end of each module.
Take a piece of double sided tape and stick it anywhere on the edge of the Center board.
Then stick the transmitter module to the tape and press hard.
Point the antenna out and down vertically.
The light and buzzer indicator light help the user understand the operation mode by changing the color during the flight.
If the voltage is low, the buzzer will sound.
Since the flight time line should be visible, it is recommended to connect the indicator to the bottom of the body.
I fixed the indicator to the bottom plate with a double sided tape.
I router the wires through one of the many holes on the board.
There are 4 holes at the top of the landing gear that can be used to attach it to the arm.
However, since the arm is 10mm wide and the distance between the holes is greater than 10mm, I used 2 cable tie bands to connect the landing gear to the arm and secure ESC.
Place the landing gear at the bottom of the arm 50mm away from the end of the plate, and run the cable tie through 2 holes, place it on the arm and fix the tie.
Tie the second cable through the other two holes, put it on the arm, put ESC on the arm, and secure the tie.
This way ESC is attached to the arm.
Connect the \"OUT\" side of the power module assembly welded in step 5 to the XT60 connector for XT60-4x3.
