5 Assemble electronics onto base
plate
The base plate holds the power
system: power distribution board
(PDB), power module, and four
electronic speed controllers (ESCs).
Place the assembled power system
onto the base plate. Attach the four
ESCs to the base plate using zip ties.
Orient the ESCs with the labels
down into the holes in the plate.
Alternatively, you can mount the
ESCs to the front of the copter,
perpendicular to the plates, by
securing the zip ties to the small slots
along the front edge of the plates. In
this case, orient the ESCs with the
labels facing out. Ensure that the
power module XT60 connector
protrudes from the back end of the
copter (behind one of the black
arms) where it can easily connect to
the battery.
6 Assemble top plate
Remove any nuts that you may
have used to secure the arms
temporarily to the base plate, and
add the top plate directly on top of
the arms. Secure the four existing
screws with metal nuts, and add a
nylon nut on top of each metal nut.
