Step 14: Chassis Top Plate and Control Board
Assemblies
In this step, you will prepare and attach the Chassis Top Plate. Then, you will
prepare and attach the control board to its mounting plate.
Gather the items shown in the diagrams on the next two pages. Note: the
Control Board Mount Plate has slots around all four edges.
1. Pull all the ESCs' 3-pin leads together towards the front of the chassis.
2. Referring to the diagram on the next page, locate the correct holes in the
Top Chassis Plate for the ½ inch screws to come up through, and then put
the nylon hex nut onto them and hand tighten.
3. Thread the ESCs' 3-pin leads up through the top oval slot, as shown in the
picture at right.
4. Attach the Top Chassis Plate to the standoffs on top of the Booms using six
¼ inch Black Pan-head Screws.
5. For the Control Board Assembly, refer to the diagram on page 25. Blue
rubber grommets are included with the Hoverfly Control Board. Insert a
rubber grommet (item 3) into the large mounting holes on each corner of
the board. These grommets reduce vibrations transferred to the Control
Board during flight.
6. Insert each ½ inch Pan-head Screw (item 6) up through the Mounting plate
(item 5), through the grommet (item 3), and then install a Plastic washer
(item 2) and a Lock nut (item 1). Do not over tighten the locknut.
Hand tightening just enough so that the board does not move around works
best.
