Manual
Thank you for purchasing the QQ190 Falcon racing quadcopter and welcome to the QQ190
team.
This manual details how to physically assemble the frame. There is a diverse array of electrical
components that can be used with quadcopter frames, an example set is included in this
document and further examples are available on the quadquestions.com website.
There is also a growing array of upgrades and customizations, both functional and cosmetic
available from quadquestions.com
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
A great amount of thought and care has been put into this quadcopter frame and we want you to
be successful in your FPV adventure.
We have also designed and continue to design many gadgets for the frame such as video
transmitter mounts, 1 axis camera gimbal, landing gear, angled HD camera mounts, armor
(titanium screw sets) and more. Please visit QuadQuestions.com for more information.
Warning- Carbon fiber is a conductive material and care
should be taken when using electronics with carbon fiber.
Carbon can cause shorts and catch fire if directly
shorted between power and ground.
We would like for you to take caution when building our kit. One of the main problems that we
see people have when building quadcopters is using motor mounting screws that are too long.
Warning- If your motor screws are too long you will short the motor to
ground through the frame and this will cause many problems for you.
Please make sure that you're using motor screws that are the correct length for your motor.

Step 1- Assemble Camera Hinge
A. Remove camera bracket if installed.
B. Install the screws and washers provided into your video camera. Make sure to use 3
washers on each side of the camera. This is to ensure that the screw does not penetrate too far
