Landing Gear and Payload Plate

The landing gear should be mounted so that the slanted support point to the front of the drone.

Push two 12mm screws through the landing gear mounts.

Align the gear plate so the screws come thru the slots.

Use the locking nuts to secure the grear skids to the mount.

You will need to use both the allen driver and either pliers or socket to tighten them.

Mount the other side in the same manor.

Adding the Payload Platform

The payload plates for the Hawk and the Longbow are different sizes.

Note: This platform / plate can be added during the build or later. It is not required to fly the drone but can provided additional surface area for batteries, a secondary processor (Raspberry Pi) or other payloads.

Push 8mm or 12mm screws from the inside of the drone and secure with 35mm standoffs.

Secure the payload plate with 8mm screws.
