Base Frame Assembly

Mounting the Landing Gear and Arms To the Base Plate

Note - Picture is of folding landing gear assembly.

Note - If using the ridged landing gear- the mount for those mount to the BOTTOM of the lower plate.

Mount the 4 folding arm assemblies to the lower plate on the same side you mounted the folding landing gear.

The small red JST connector female lead plugs into the male JST on the wire harness.

Note - You will need to strip insulation from the JST lead.

Plug the JST leads into the white bus block.

Use adhesive pads to secure the white bus block to the lower or upper plate.

Connect the short servo extension wires to the ESC signal wires

Note - Some wires are brown - red and orange - they correspond with black - red - white. Brown = black, red= red, orange = white.

insert an M3 8mm into the slot on the upper plate.

Screw the long brass standoff to the M3 screw.

repeat for all 4 standoffs.

Label the ESC extension wires 1 thru 4.

Motor 1 = right front

Motor 2 = left front

Motor 3 = left rear

Motor 4 = right rear

Trick- Use tape to label the servo wires 1 thru 4.

Feed the ESC extension wires thru the upper plate.

Make sure tuck the wires down so they do not pinch bettween the upper plate and the arm hindges.

Screw the upper plate to the top of the arm and landing gear elbows.

Note - The small arrow on the top of the Naza must point to the front of the drone!

Mount the Naza in the center of the upper plate.

Connect the motor signal wires in sequence 1 thru 4 to slots M1 - M4.

Plug the Bind connector into the last slot labled "B/VCC" for now.

Secure with adhesive pads and zip ties. wire antennas should be secured at different angles mounted to the lower plate.
