d. Install your VTX and RX in the rear. If your vtx is a 20x20 mo
unt, it’s recommended you use standoffs
to mount the vtx, and then double-sided tape your RX underneath. Alternatively, you can just double-
sided tape mount the VTX as well. There is no hardware included for the VTX or RX
e. Mount your motors and solder the motor leads to your ESC.
f. Complete the remaining connections for your Runcam, VTX, and RX.
g. Power it up and ensure everything is working properly before proceeding.
4. Putting the frame together
a. Test fit the battery plate and ensure a tight fit through the slot in the side plate. Note, you may need to
do some light filing to get proper fitment.
b. Use the included M3x6 screws to attach the standoffs to the side plates. Install all 5 standoffs to one
side of 1 side plate.
c. Install the side plate by dropping it in on the side of the main body, and sliding the side plate over
towards the main body. Ensure that the “tabs” of the main body go through the bushings and that the
bushings are properly mounted.
d. Install the camera to the side plate using the included M2x8 screw, M2 nut and washer, and 3mm
spacer.
e.
Take the other side plate and attach it to the main body, ensuring that the “tabs” go through the
bushings properly, and that the battery plate goes through the slot.
f. Use the M2x8 screw, M2 nut and washer, and 3mm spacer to bolt on the other side of the camera.
g. Use the remaining M3x6 screws to complete the installation of the side plate.
h. Adjust your cam to your desired angle and position.
i. Install the lipo strap by inserting one end from underneath one side of the battery tab, and looping it
over the battery tray and through the tab on the other side.
j. Only use a small (¼ piece) of Ummagrip on the battery plate. You only need a very small piece to
keep the lipo from moving.
But you want the lipo to contact AS MUCH of the carbon side plates as
possible for it to be the most effective at dampening vibrations.
k. Mount/fix your antennas as desired. Please note that there are 3d printed antenna mounting
solutions. Please visit

if you don’t have a 3d printer. Search for “acrobrat” on
http://www.thingiverse.com
if you have access to a printer.
l. Make sure everything is tightened!
m. If you fly over concrete, PROTECT THE BELLY! The bolts and side plates protrude from the
bottom and are exposed. We recommend that you 3d printed parts to protect the belly of the
frame or opt for softer landing surfaces. Multiple skids onto a hard surface could wear this out
prematurely.
n. Go out, rip, and then share with the community on
