Master FPV drone assembly by gathering essential tools, 1.5 mm and 2 mm hex screwdrivers, tweezers, scalpel, wrench, pliers, side cutters, the right bits, and a flux and solder kit.
Please find PDF file with components needed for FPV quadcopter assembly!
Also, find attached STL files of 3D-printed parts that you could use to print. 1st version that is used in the video consist of two separate parts (3D-printed receiver antenna holder.STL and 3D-printed VTX antenna holder.STL) and 2nd version (3D-printed VTX antenna holder.STL). Choose one more convenient for you!
Assemble the FPV drone frame by attaching four arms, bumpers, and mounts to the central base, then secure the top cover and battery gasket with screws and thread glue.
Install all four motors on the FPV frame with threadlocker and correct torque, avoiding over-tightening. Secure motor wires along the frame arms using tape or zip ties.
Solder the capacitor onto the ESC and thin the pads for motor wires. Connect the power leads to the battery, observing polarity on the FC and ESC.
Insert the flight controller and ESC ribbon cable with the correct side, mount the ESC to the frame, then solder motor wires to the ESC pads and clean flux.
Install the video transmitter on the frame per the wiring diagram, remove 5v and ground, then mount the VTX at the back using four M2x6 screws for better airflow.
Mount the flight controller on the ESC, solder the ELRS receiver, VTX, and camera, then finish the final assembly with the 3d-printed frame, nuts, screws, and clean cable routing.
