- Page 3 ZAP ZIP kicker appears to be a very agressive product unfitted for very fine crafting. Hereby, we at Foamdrones want to advice using either foam-safe CA kicker spray, or no kicker at all. We at Foamdrones use foam-safe ca kicker and did not experience any issue at all.
- Page 4 step-by-step assembly Check if your carbon rods can go all the way in both recesses on each motor mount. If not, clean out the recesses with your sharp knife until the rods fit in smoothly. Install the included end caps on your motors. Make sure the motor wires are guided upwards through the small recess on the end cap, as seen on the picture above.
- Page 5 Lay out the 2 landing skid pieces exactly (!!) as shown on the picture above. Apply flexible glue on both pieces according to your preferred glue's manual, except for the parts within the orange rectangles as seen above.. Take care to use enough glue, but not too much.
- Page 6 Remove the partially attached circular pieces of foam on the main frame piece you see above. You can simply pull them loose or use your knife to cut them out. Create a setup as seen above. Use a motor mount, motor mount installing tool and 2 carbon rods.
- Page 7 Apply medium CA glue at the locations marked above. For the green marks, apply a generous amount of glue inside the cuts, but make sure to not accidently glue the motor mount installing tool to the frame. For the yellow marks, i recommend to use a fine nozzle to apply a small amount of CA.
- Page 8 Turn over the foam frame unit containing the motor mounts. Take your other foam frame unit and position it as seen above. Glue both together using flexible contact glue. Make sure to follow the guidelines considering gluing EPP foam materials specific to the brand and type of glue you are using. For UHU-por, apply glue on both main frame pieces and spread it out.
- Page 9 Turn over your main frame and attach the landing skid/battery holder using flexible contact glue.
- Page 10 Turn over your frame again and carefully remove the partially attached pieces of foam on the upper foam frame unit. 2 of these excess pieces contain 2 little foam parts you need in order to assemble the camera mount.
- Page 11 Use your sharp knife to make a cut in the sides of the flight controller hub about halfway down. Your flight controller will be held in these cuts later on. Take good care not to cut completely through and try to make your cuts as straight as possible.
- Page 12 Install your motors in their motor mounts and feed your motor wires to the upper side of the frame through the sides of the landing skid and connect them to the flight controller. Take the 2 camera mount pieces you have put aside previously and glue them together using flexible glue.
