Assembling the frame

The assembly of the drone frame requires a lot of patience and you are once again advised to follow the instruction manual when doing it for the first time.

These items are listed here:

  • Four frame arms (two blue and two black, if you buy the blue color)

  • Two rods for the base mount
  • One top plate
  • One bottom plate for mounting the power lines
  • And a lot of screws
