Step 8: Attach Motor/Boom Assemblies to the Bottom
Chassis Plate
In this step, you will attach each Motor/Boom assembly to the Bottom Chassis Plate.
(The top chassis plate is the one with the Parallax and Y-6 logos engraved on it, do
not use this one.) Refer to the diagram on the next page for the items needed from
your kit.
1. Orientation of the Bottom Chassis Plate does matter! Make sure to attach the
Booms in the positions shown in the picture at right. The rear Motor/Boom
assembly (with the red checkered tape if you used it) mounts on the corner
between the two large holes in the Bottom Chassis Plate.
2. Locate the correct mounting holes on the Bottom Chassis Plate to use for the
rear Motor/Boom assembly
3. Position the rear Motor/Boom assembly (item 2) in the correct place on the
Bottom Chassis Plate (item 3). The Boom Tube will rest on the Landing Gear
Mount (item 5).
4. Thread two 1-1/4” long Pan-head Screws (item 4) up through the Chassis Plate,
through the Landing Gear Assembly, and into the Boom Tube. Secure each
screw into place with a threaded 5/8” Nylon Standoff (item 1).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to mount the remaining two Motor/Boom assemblies to the
other two corners of the Bottom Chassis Plate.
