Step 3: Mounting The Motors
WARNING: USING THE BLACK CAPHEAD SCREWS PROVIDED IN YOUR MOTOR BOX IS NOT RECOMMENDED. USING
THESE SCREWS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND AIRCRAFT. PLEASE ONLY USE THE PROVIDED BAGGED
M3X6MM SILVER BUTTONHEAD WASHERS WHEN INSTALLING THE MOTORS ON THE QUADZILLA MOTOR
PLATES. IF YOU USE OTHER SCREWS WITH YOUR MOTORS, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE PROPER
CLEARANCE INSIDE THE MOTORS (WATCH THE WINDINGS) ONCE THE SCREWS ARE COMPLETELY TIGHTENED.
Using the provided Mid-Atlantic 2212 motors, 16 M3x5mm screws, 16
washers, and Blue/Medium Loctite, use the steps below to mount the
motors to the motor mounts.
Pre-load the washers to the M3x5mm screws. Line up the holes in the
motor mount with the holes in the motor. Load a screw/washer on to the
2mm hex tool and add a small drop of Loctite to the threads of the screw.
Push the screw through the bottom of the motor mount plate, into the motor
and tighten.
Loctite should be allowed 24 hours to set before your first flight.
