Step 14: Mounting the Propeller Blades
Only mount the propeller blades when you are ready to fly.
There are two different types of slow flyer propeller blades in the ELEV-8 Electronics
Kit: Counterclockwise, (CCW, marked 1045) and Clockwise (CW, marked 1045R). The
correct type of blade must be used on each motor for the ELEV-8 to fly. See the
drawing below for label location; the blades are rounded-side-up.
1.
Disconnect the battery from the Power Harness.
2.
Refer to the diagram on this page for the correct placement of each blade.
3.
Connect each blade to its motor, referring to the diagram on the next page. The
Blade (item 2) should be mounted rounded-side-up, seated on a Cone Lock
(item 3) over a Collet (item 4).
4.
Finger-tighten the Propeller Nut (item 1), then use an Allen wrench to tighten ¼
turn more.
Congratulations! Your assembled ELEV-8 Quadcopter is ready to fly. For a “First Flight” video and troubleshooting tips, see the
