Hobbyking H4 Copter Multi-Rotor Quadcopter

Introduction

I’ve created these build instructions to help people through the build of this copter without having

the problems I found whilst building the model myself.

The diagram below shows the content of the kit as delivered.

Note: there were no build instructions in

the kit but I did find some helpful files on

the Hobbyking web site.

You will also need a straight screwdriver, a

H2.5 hex allen key and a 5.5 box spanner

or socket.

Assembly

The first thing I did was to asemble the top of the model as I realised if I assembled the main

fuselage first it would be difficult accessing the screws for the pillars holding the electronic mounts.

Parts required

You will need the top fuselage, this can be

identified by the extra holes for the post

mounts.

You’ll also need the 3 electronics mounts

and 12 plastic posts with screws both ends.

Screw the posts onto the upper fuselage

using some thread lock to ensure they do

not come loose from vibration.

Fit the electronics mounts but do not use

threadlock until you’ve fitted the electronics

and sure you do not need to removed the

plates again.

The next step was to assemble the fuselage. Parts required The assembled top fuselage, bottom fuselage, green strengthening tubes and 8 of the longer bolts and nuts. Align the bolt holes and fit all 8 bolts. Note: Threadlock is not required as the nuts are lock nuts. The next step was to fit the under carraige. Parts required The assembled fuselage, 2 legs and 4 shorter bolts with screws.

My solution to this problem was to move the front undercarraige. I marked out and drilled 2 holes as shown below. Note: They align with holes in the top fuselage which allowed access to the heads of the bolts after removing the front electronics plate. The next step was to assemble the motor arms Parts required The 4 engine mount arms, 4 engine mounts, 8 short bolts and nuts and the green stickers. Attach the sticker to the top of the engine mount arms, outer end on the side with the smaller holes.

Next step was to fit the engine mount arms to the fuselage Parts required The assembled fuselage, engine mount arms and 8 long bolts with nuts. Fit the outer bolts allowing the arms to swing in tight to the fuselage. Here’s the final assembly with green stickers on the engine mount arms, re-position undercarraige and folded out engine mount arms. Total weight once built 605 grams. My next publication will include fitting the electronics.
