Step 4: Motor Mount Assembly
In this step, you will attach the Motor Mounts, Motors, and Landing Gear legs to the Booms. DO NOT ATTACH THE PROPELLERS TO THE
MOTORS YET.
1.
Gather the items listed in the diagram on the next page.
2.
Attach each Motor (item 1) to a Motor Mount Bottom plate (item 8). Use four 3 mm x 6 mm screws (item 9) for each motor.
3.
Use two 3/8” Panhead Screws (item 5) and two Internal Tooth Lock Washers (item 6) to attach two 5/8” Nylon Standoffs (item 7) to each
Motor Mount bottom plate. Use two more 3/8” Panhead Screws and Internal Tooth Lock Washers (item 6) to attach each Motor Mount top
plate (item 3) to the Nylon Standoffs (item 7).
4.
One end of each Boom (item 4) has two holes spaced about one inch apart.
Slide an assembled Motor Mount on this end of each Boom so that the motor
leads go through the Boom tube. Holes in the Motor Mount top and bottom
plates will line up with the holes in the Boom.
5.
Secure each Motor Mount assembly to the last hole in its Boom with a 1” Pan
Head Screw (item 2) and a Lock Nut (item 10).
6.
Thread a 1” Pan Head Screw (item 2) through the second hole in each Boom
and Motor Mount assembly. This screw does not use a lock nut. Instead, self-tap
the screw into the shorter leg of a Landing Gear (item 11) aligned parallel to the
Boom.
