Step 1 - Assemble Flight Components
Assemble and setup all the flight components at this stage. Cut wires to
length and solder in place. Make sure all the wiring is clear of the propellers.
Being neat and tidy at this stage will help ensure your success!
Mount the ESC, Flight Controller, etc
(1x) Main Plate
(4x) M2.5 x 20mm CSK
(4x) M2.5 Nuts
Plastic spacers as required
Make sure the screws and nuts do not cause any electrical short outs.
The arrow in the Main Plate is to point forwards. It helps to avoid confusion
later!
Mount the Motors
(16x) M2 x 3mm Socket screws
Make sure the screws do not damage the internal wire inside the
motors.
Do not overtighten the screws as it will damage the motor screw

are vibrations. Excessive vibrations can occur if you damage a
propeller.

Step 4 –Attach Camera
The camera attaches to the rear of the aluminium camera mount with the pre-
attached self-adhesive foam tape.
Make sure that no electrical parts of the camera can touch the aluminium to
avoid electrical short out. This includes sharp solder points that can pierce the
self-adhesive foam tape. Carefully file down any sharp solder points that may
be affected
Check your camera is supplied with the correct voltage from your power
distribution.
Attach the aluminium camera mount and antenna protectors to the camera
supports.
(1x) Aluminium Camera Mount
(4x) M2 x 4mm Socket Cap Screws
(2x) Antenna protectors
The angle of the camera is adjustable. Slacken the screws, change the
camera angle and retighten the screws.

Flight Controller Setup
We use Betaflight on the PIKO flight controller for our own Halos. This is just
our preference and you can also use the supplied Cleanflight.
You will need to configure your PIKO flight controller to compensate for it
being mounted 45 degrees in yaw. This is achieved using the Cleanflight or
Betaflight configurator. It may be +45 or -45 degrees depending on how you
mounted your PIKO flight controller.
