Lower Plate

Base plate, M3 8mm screws and 20mm stand offs.
Use M3 -8mm screws to mount the stand offs to the lower plate as indicated where the red circles are. The OnPoynt Logo should be on the bottom side.
Place the landing gear mounts on the bottom side of the base plate and use 2 M3-12mm screws to mount it to the base using M3 nuts.
Insert the screws from the top and secure with the lock nut from the bottom.
Use the alen driver and a pliers or socket to tighten.
Note: the landing gear mounts on the Longbow are longer but mount the same way.
Prior to installing the Naza PMU put a 1" square of foam tape on the side of the PMU with the DJI logo.
Placement is important - the PMU is angled to make sure the GPS anntenna can slide in.
The PMU mounts at the rear of the lower plate.
Use M3 6mm to mount the 5mm nylon standoffs to each corner of the ESC.
Plug in the signal wire bundle to the ESC
Label each lead with the channel (the large plug with the black and white wire is ESC #1, the one next to it is ESC#2 and so on).
Use M3 6mm screws to mount the ESC to the base plate.
If the this is done wrong you will find out when you conduct the Motor Spin Test during set up at which time you will need to correct it. Failure to do so will cause the drone to crash at takeoff.
This is the motor/ESC pattern for a Naza flight controller.
Take the white power terminal and mount double sided tape to the bottom.
Stick to the lower plate as shown.
Push down on the top rocker and push the red and black wires from the ESC into it. You may need to strip some insulation to get them in far enough.
Then plug the PMU red and black wires in to the other side. Red to red and black to black.
Connect motor / ESC extension wires if necessary
Note: you may need only extension wires for 2 motors depending on how you mount the ESC.
At this point there are 2 ways you can run the wires to the motors.
First you can route the motor power wires from ESCs 1-4 to motors 1-4. this will likely involve the power wires crossing over the ESC and each other as seen above. (rear wires on the left are for motor 4 and the right are for motor 3, here you can see they are crossed.
Second you can connect the ESC wires to the closest motor. when doing this you MUST keep track of which ESC is going to which motor. when we connect the smaller ESC signal wires to the Naza we will connect they so that the Naza channels coordinate with the correct motors based on the motor pattern.
For these instructions we will connect ESC 1-4 with motor 1-4.
push the ESC wires through an arm so that the wires stick out.
Slide the red endcaps over the ESC power wires and press it in place.
Connect the motor wires to the ESC wires. The color does not matter.
NOTE: to get ESC channel 1 to motor 1 you may need to crossover the top of the ESC to route the wires.
Connect the GPS antenna connector to the PMU.
