What you need for this step
What you need for this step
What you need for this step
Remove the screws from under the H8 frame. Gently remove the top and de-solder the motors from the PCB.
Gently remove the PCB from the quad-copter.
Solder your power tail from the male PICO connector to
your PCB at the point where the battery connects to the
PCB. Be sure to solder positive to positive and negative to
negative. Reversing these may damage your FPV camera.
If you are going to flash your H8 to make it ACRO, then
you’ll also want to attach your flash leads at this time. Use
as small a connector as possible to keep your weight to a
minimum if you’re going to leave it on the board.
Attach the 25mm standoff to the side plate as shown with
1 nylon screw.
Stretch the rubber band between the slots on the side
of the main frame. The battery will be held in place between it and the frame underneath.
Cut small pieces of double sided tape to hold the PCB
in place on the frame. Make sure the battery connector
fits into the slot as shown. Be sure your PCB is relatively
straight on the frame..

Assemble your side plates using the attached 25mm
standoff and nylon screw. Be sure to secure the camera
plate between the side plates. Be cautios of the rubber
band and try not to pinch it with the side plates.
Gently pinch the rubber grommet and insert into the
groove at the end of each limb. Release the gromment
and gently adjust any material until it rests in the groove.
A little soapy water can make this part much easier.
Put a tiny bit of soapy water on the bottom of each grommet. Gently press the motors until they slide into place
inside the grommet. Adjust the heigh until the top of the
motor is about 5mm from the top of the frame.
Re-connect your motors to the
PCB and verify motor rotation.
Be sure to leave a little slack in the
wires for the protectors.
Mount your FPV camera using a small piece of double
sided sticky tape and secure to the camera plate as
shown. You can adjust from 0 degrees to 20 degrees
angle on your camera by using the correct slots on the
side plates.

Gently press on your new 55mm-65mm propellers onto
the motors verifying the direction of the props.
Gently press on the rubber caps to the underside of the
motors which will help protect the motors and
wire connections.
Now you’ve completed your build. Be sure to research
your particular equipment and be sure it is 100% operational before attempting to fly.
WARNING: NEVER test your motors with the propel-
lers on.
