mm. This allows ample space for ESC mounting. If not already done, dry-fit the
arms and bottom plate to the main frame should there be any doubt.
b.
For unwired/bare ESCs, with the exception of the motor wires, pre-wire your ESCs.
Use enough wire to reach their intended termination. A bit of excess length is
recommended until the PDB, flight controller, and other peripherals are fitted in-
place.
c.
Slip the appropriate length of heat shrink over the ESCs and beyond the ESCs over
the input power leads and signal/ground leads PRIOR TO SOLDERING the motor
wires (to be soldered on later). This will allow for soldering the motor wires later
and THEN moving the heat shrink over the ESCs prior to final shrinking.
d.
TEMPORARILY place the ESCs onto the bottom plate so that the motor pads face the
side of their intended motor arm. [There are other options available including PDBs
intended for ESC mounting.] You may solder the motor leads to the ESCs at any
convenient point during final frame assembly. After soldering the motor leads,
move the heat shrink tubing completely over the ESC to cover all exposed bare
wiring and solder joints. Shrink the tubing at this time.
e.
Firmly mount the ESCs to the bottom plate using double backed tape (“servo tape”)
supplied with this kit or mount using any other suitable method.
