Step 28: Fit Grommets to the Flight Controller
Important!
​
If you have the ELEV-8 V2 No Flight Controller kit (#80202): the directions in
Section 7 are specifically meant for installing and connecting the HoverFly OPEN control board
only ​ . Use caution if attempting to adapt some or all of these directions for any other control
board. Parallax accepts no liability for the use of these directions with components not sold or
provided by Parallax for your specific kit.
The Flight Controller (HoverflyOPEN) has a gyroscope sensor that is extremely sensitive to
vibration, which negatively impacts its accuracy. To reduce such vibrations, the HoverflyOPEN
comes with rubber grommets that fit into the mounting holes.
Some boards come with the grommets pre-installed; if that is the case with your HoverflyOPEN,
you can skip this step and move onto Step 29.

through one of the four grommet holes.
