motor lead at this time.
v.
Bolt your motors to the arms while carefully pulling from the body end any
excess wire loop at the motor.

Surface Wire Option – easier to install , but less aerodynamic
i.
Lay out your wires as described above to determine where you will fasten
the wires to the arm. Drill small holes all the way through the arm on
opposite sides of the wires to securely mount them to the arm using small
“tie-wraps”.
ii.
If using this option, you may also consider surface mounting your motor ESCs
directly on the arm surface. Again, this will additionally increase drag and
turbulence and expose the components to possible unprotected crash
damage.
iii.
Bolt your motors to the arms and fasten the wires as appropriate for your
configuration.

Prior to permanent attachment, note the depth of the bottom plate below the main
body frame. The depth below the mounted motor arm and the bottom plate will be
about 9.7mm. The depth between the main frame and bottom plate is about 14
