PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION Before starting to assemble your SKY-HERO aircraft, it is important to plan your build. You should check that you have all of the parts and components that you will need. You should also think about what accessories you might want to add to the aircraft and also where on the frame you will locate them.
ASSEMBLING THE TOP FRAME Attach the half frame spacers (3) to the upper frame (2) using the M3 x 10 mm Button Head Plastic screws (1). Also attach the canopy bracket using M3 x 6 mm button head screws (7). Use a small drop of Blue thread-lock on the screws.
– with dangerous consequences if the aircraft is in flight. Note: For more information on mounting motors, you can visit the SKY-HERO channel on YouTube and watch the video “Sky Hero How to Mount Your Motors”: https:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-xQFuDLJi0...
If you have not already done so, you should calibrate your ESC to your transmitter (refer to the manual of your ESC for the method to follow) If you are using a SKY-HERO supplied ESC, see Appendix 1 in this manual for the ESC instructions.
ESC signal cable with the same number (between 1 - 6) will make things easier when you come to connect the motors to your Flight Controller. Further help can be found by watching the Video «SKY-HERO HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR MOTOR MOUNTS» on the Sky-HERO YouTube channel: https:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvkSoewk7Mw...
ASSEMBLY OF THE COMPLETE ARM WITH MOTOR & ESC The carbon tube has 2 pairs of holes. One pair has a smaller gap between them; (Part No. 13/14/15) this end of the tube should be fixed in the motor mount. On the inside of each motor mount there are two small studs, these must be orientated to coincide with the holes that are in the carbon arms.
