Instructions Steps 1 - 13

Step 1: Open box that includes adjustable arms to complete prep work of drilling a few holes for attachment.

Step 2: Using a 1/8” drill bit in a small drill, drill single small hole on the inside L of the adjustable arm holder, about 1/4” in from the end to connect to a wooden strut. Drill a second small hole, using the same bit, on the angled end, 3/8” from the end for the landing gear. Go straight through both sides to save time. For the final prep hole, drill straight down through the center ring to connect to the nut holder on the far side. Try to drill perpendicular to the surface. Use the drill bit to clean out all the residue of each hole drilled.

Step 3: Get the two crossover wooden pieces (long). Put one side of one piece into the adjustable arm. You may need to use pressure to get the wood to fit. Repeat with the second cross over piece. Use the short 3/8” inch screws to connect the wooden cross over pieces to the plastic.

Step 4: Install each arm by pushing it through the rectangular holes on the box. Push all the way into place so that the screw is visible inside the box. Repeat with the other arm.

Step 5: Holding the attached adjustable arm holder firmly, push the other adjustable arm holder onto the wooden cross over piece and screw into place, making sure that the screw is inside the box. Repeat with the second arm to complete placement of the arm holders and lock them into place.

Step 6: Get 5.25” side pieces to connect the arm holders on either side. Note that some pieces connect easily, and others take a little more manipulation. The 5.25” pieces should be flush with the adjustable arm holders.

Step 7: Take the 5” pieces and fit each into the adjustment head. If the piece doesn’t fit well, flip the piece over and see if the other end fits better. Make sure that the wood is ALL the WAY into the adjustment head. Do this for all four adjustment arms. At this point, double check that the cross bar is flush on both sides as you will drill in such a way that the two pieces of wood will be connected together permanently.

Step 8:

A. Place the adjustment head onto the adjustable arm holder, with teeth matching up, and with the wooden pieces forming a 90-degree angle or parallel.

B. Drill a 1/8” hole through the top of the head all the way through the two pieces of wood. Don’t force the drill but do keep it perpendicular to the arms and allow it to go all the way through to the nut holder. Make sure that you can see all the way through the hole by cleaning it out with the drill bit and air.

C. Take long screw and washer. Place the washer on the long screw and thread it through the adjustment head and into the arm holder. Put the nut into the nut holder, nylon threads pointing out and use finger to hold in place.

D. Push screw through while holding nut in place and then screw into place. Before tightening, the arm must be swiveled 3 notches, to get to a 45-degree angle (each notch is 15 degrees). Tighten screws so that the arm will not move again. Repeat for remaining three arms.

Once the drone is assembled, you can loosen the screws and rotate the arms in so it takes up less space.

Step 9: Take the landing legs and drill through the existing hole so that there are holes on both sides. Push short legs into the landing leg pieces, using slight force if necessary. Make sure wooden pieces are all the way in. Use 5/8” screw to connect plastic landing legs, by hand so that all four legs are complete.

Step 10: Put legs into last open spots on the adjustable arms and then secure in place, by hand, with 5/8” screws on the outside of the drone. This will allow the replacement of legs in the future without fighting the inside of the drone.

Step 11: For preparing the motor mounts, you need to drill a 1/8” hole into the middle of the round indentation at the bottom of the plastic. Flip the drone over and connect the motor mounts to the ends of the arm so that they are flush with the end. Screw the mounts in with 5/8” screws on all four arms.

Step 12: To secure the lid at a future point, use glue to glue the plastic nut to the inside of the hole in the lid. Cut about ½” off the end of the plastic screw and set it aside. You’ll install the screw later.

Step 13: Go around the drone and tighten all the screws, applying downward pressure to prevent stripping the screws and being careful with the screwdriver placement so that the screwdriver doesn’t slip and cause an injury.
