10. Payload Assembly
Page P.17
Upper figure:
If you want to transport payloads like cameras, etc. with your quadrocopter, you may use an optionally available assembly
kit (GAUI-number: 210815) to built a platform at the top of the model.
The figure illustrates platform assembly.
Lower figure:
Instead of the landing gear, four M3 screws and nuts can be used as well. Rods or tubes with a diameter of 6 mm can be
pushed through the openings in the boom arms, to which he payload can be attached.

Weight/power overview
The quadrocopter can be easily flown with a 2-cell LiPo rechargeable battery with 1400 – 2000 mAh. If, however, the take-
off weight is above 550 g, a 3-cell LiPo battery should be used. The following table offers an overview of take-off weight and
power intake to select the matching battery.
