- Page 3 Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide Vulcan Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide The Mantis airframe is assembled exactly the same as a standard frame, the only difference between a standard frame and the Mantis, is the use of the Z arm.
- Page 4 Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide Parts Included with the arm itself are four brace plates, one for each side of the welded joints, and eight 25mm bolts with Nylock nuts and washers to secure them. IMPORTANT! Never use the Z arm without the brace plates properly fitted. They not only provide ex- tra strength and security for the welds, but also add aditional stiffness to the arm and help minimise vibration and sideways flex.
- Page 5 Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide Drop the weighted end of the string through the arm and tie the other end to your motor wires. Carefully help the motor wires through the arm by pulling on the string and moving the wires themselves at the top of the arm.
- Page 6 Mantis Z Arm Assembly Guide Once the wires are through the arm, remove the string and attach the motor mount and mo- tor to the arm. DO NOT overtighten motor mount bolts! Next you must fit the brace plates over the welds, one either side. These holes can be tight and bolts hard to align, but by turning the bolt you can use it to cut a tight fit in the carbon of the plate and aluminium of the arm.
