FRAME ASSEMBLY
1 Attach motors to arms
Each arm of your Y6 will have a top motor and a bottom motor attached to the arm using
co-axial motor mounting plates. To ensure motors are securely bolted to arms, apply a small
amount of threadlock to each bolt before fastening.
Threadlocking compound is an important component to ensure your motors remain
firmly attached! For application tips, check out this video: goo.gl/bM3MA.
Attach mounting plates to bottom motors:
Using two 6 mm steel bolts and one co-axial motor
mounting plate, fasten motor onto plate as shown.
Repeat for three of six motors.
