Building the TILT drone
Process of building the TILT is common to all versions current versions: the parts may differ (it will be specified when 3DP and PRO
versions use different components) but assembly remains the same. Please follow the steps given below. You might find extra screws in
most steps than the ones strictly necessary OR very similar lengths than the ones stated in this manual but that should still be suitable.
NOTE: Please refer the Getting Started document for the detailed description of the part names and their functions.
Step 1
Insert the polymer
bearings on each arm
support part (4 pieces,
two left-hand and two
right-hand) and insert it
until it gets flushed on
the other side. Use a 9
or 10 mm drill bit or
similar to insert it as it
goes press fit.
PARTS
4x polymer bearings (large)
2x arms support RIGHT
2x arms support LEFT
HARDWARE
None

Step 2
Install both tensors, one
on a right-hand arm
support and the other
in a left-hand one. Do
not tighten them yet.
NOTE: you’ll find a
regular washer for M3
to use instead of the red
aluminium parts in the
picture

Step 3
Mount all four arm
supports with the
tensors on the base
plate. On each arm
support, use only the
inner screws now.
NOTE: pay attention to
the position of the
tensors. The base plate
has in its design a couple
of ‘arrows’ marking the
forward direction (in
picture top is front). In
that orientation the
tensors must both be on
the left.

Step 6
Mount the each motor
in a motor mount with
the M3x6 screws (4 on
each motor) and
thread lock
(medium/blue). Then
add the motor mount
clamps (the bottom
part of the motor
mount assembly) and
the carbon fiber tubes
inserting them until
the end of the mounts.
Do not tighten the
M3x20 screws yet,
keep them tight but
allowing the tube to
rotate

If you have purchased
a PDB refer to the
PDB manual for
detailed description
on how to solder the
PDB components.
The picture shown
here is just orientative
of how it should look
like prior to mounting
the PDB to the frame

Step 9
Install the two Nylon
screws and nuts as
shown in the
pictures. The length
supplied is to be used
with landing legs. If
you do not want to
use landing legs you
can cut the Nylon
screws to a suitable
length. The nuts are
here important as
they serve as spacer
to avoid the exposed
bottom PDB pins to
touch the carbon
fiber base plate and
create dangerous
shorts. In the actual
design we do
recommend to use
Nylon screws if using
aluminium landing
legs.
PARTS
Same as step 8
HARDWARE
2x screw Nylon M3x12

Step 10
Install the Nylon
screw and nut as
shown in the picture.
This screw will be
used to hold the PDB
and the nut as spacer
to avoid shorts. If not
using landing legs,
the screws in step 9
can also be installed
in this way.
PARTS
Same as step 7
HARDWARE
1x screw Nylon M3x12

Step 11
Solder the pin headers
to the Naze flight
controller board as
shown in the pictures
with the black Naze32
board (headers
supplied). Cut the Nylon
screws to about 6 mm
long and install the
standoffs in the flight
controller.
If you want a low
profile headers setup,
you can use the red
Naze pictures as
example (rubber
dampeners not
included in the kit)
PARTS
1x Naze32 flight
controller board
HARDWARE
4x screw Nylon M3x12
(to be vut to about 6 mm
long)
4x standoff Nylon 10 mm

Step 12
Mount the flight controller with the
M3x6 on the base plate (the picture here
is just orientative) and the PDB or PDB
substitution with the Nylon nuts on the
already installed Nylon screws (for the
PDB substitution you do not need the
nylon nuts as separators as there is no
shortcircuit risk).
We recommend insulating the bottom
side of the PDB with electrical insulation
tape. It is not mandatory as the PDB and
solderings should not touch the frame
(CHECK!). We used Kapton (Polyimide)
tape to insulate the PDB from the carbon
fibre chassis.
NOTE: use tape with “low noise” glue
when possible. Some insulation tapes can
cause an increase in the noise in the
system. Using good quality tape with
suitable glue properties is good practice.

10 and 11

Step 13
Install the polymer
bearing in the IGUS
bearing housing. Then,
screw the servo bearing
housing into the servo
base with the M3x6
screws (keep the
middle bore empty).
Install the servo pulley
in the servo with the set
screws and then, the
servo in the base with
the M2 hardware.
Ensure the servo
pulley is aligned with
the polymer bearing.
Add the nylon cylinder
through the bearing and
screw the M3x20
screws to the pulley
through the Nylon
cylinder (use thread
lock here and do not
tighten excessively).

Mark 490 mm span in the belt with a
marker leaving similar belt length on
both sides. Pass the open belt
through the pulleys as shown in the
picture.
Check the arms support tensors are
loose and on the bottom of their
travel range.
Install the belt clamp ‘tightening’ the
belt until the 490 mm marks are
being nearly covered by the clamp
parts. Ensure the belt teeth match the
clamp cavities.

other side of the 3D
printed red part, insert
first the split washer,
