Instructions
Install 12 of the long aluminum spacers
onto a center plate using the inner most
holes, and the 2nd outermost hole as
shown.
Install second center plate, using only one
turn of the screws. Screws should be very
loose to allow spreading apart of plates to
insert arm plates.
Carefully spread center plates and snap a
pair of arm plates into place. Tighten one
of the screws a few turns (just enough to
keep the two plates from falling out).
Repeat for all 4 arms.
Install 3 of the long aluminum spacers
between each set of arm plates at the 3
holes closest to the end. For the last two
spacers which are installed at the end of
the arm, only use one screw for each
spacer. We will need to be able to spread
the end of the arm apart later to install the
motor plates. Repeat for all arms.
You may now tighten all of the screws in
each center plate. It is a good idea to use
blue locktite whenever possible. Do not
use red locktite. If you do not use thread
lock, be sure to do a flight check and
check all screws for tightness before flying.
Install one short aluminum spacer to the
small end of a landing gear plate. Slide
one of the rubber feet over the spacer.
Add second plate and screw to contain the
landing gear rubber feet. Repeat for all
landing gear.
Install large end of landing gear into the
arm, aligning the inner most top hole of the
arm with the top hole of the landing gear.
Insert screws and short aluminum spacer.
Repeat for all landing gear legs.
Rotate landing gear until the holes align
with the inner most hole on the bottom of
the arm. Insert screws and short
aluminum spacers to lock gear into place.
Again blue thread lock is a good idea but
not required.
Spread the arm plates apart and snap the
motor plate into place. Insert the missing
screws. Use blue thread lock if you have
it, but it is not required.
Congratulations you are done.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your new
frame :)
