Step 6: Attach Motor/Boom Assemblies to the Bottom Chassis Plate
In this step, you will attach each Motor/Boom assembly to the Bottom Chassis Plate. (This kit comes with two identical Quad Chassis Plates. You
will use one in this step, and the other one as a Top Chassis Plate in a later step.)
1.
Refer to the diagram on the next page for the items needed from your ELEV-8 Airframe and Hardware kits.
2.
Locate the correct mounting holes in the Bottom Chassis Plate to use for the Motor/Boom assemblies.
3.
Position a Motor/Boom assembly (item 2) on the Bottom Chassis Plate (item 3). The Boom tube rests on top of the plate with the motor axle
pointing upward, and the LED tape facing downward. The free end of the Landing Gear leg slips underneath the plate.
4.
Thread a 1-1/4” long Panhead Screw (item 5) through the end of the Landing Gear’s longer leg, through the underside of the Chassis Plate
(item 3) and through the Boom tube (item 2). Secure it in place with a threaded 5/8” Nylon Standoff (item 1).
5.
Thread a 1” long Panhead Screw (item 4) through the underside of the Chassis Plate (item 3), and then through the last hole in the Boom
(item 2). Secure it in place with a threaded 5/8” Nylon Standoff (item 1).
6.
Repeat until all four Motor/Boom assemblies are attached to the Bottom Chassis Plate.
