Thank you for purchasing the R220 Mini H Quadcopter!
We hope you have a lot of fun building and flying this miniquad.
REMEMBER
RC Aircraft are not toys! This is a complicated flying machine that
requires skill to build and fly. Whilst the R220 Mini H Quad is a stable
and capable flyer, it is not really intended for new pilots.
Make sure you know the rules for the country you are flying in. If in
doubt, seek help from an experienced pilot.

Heat up the soldering iron, you’re going to be using it a lot!
The first thing to do is work out how you are going to distribute power through
your frame. For the prototype we used the Mini Power Distribution Board from
Hobbyking as this is the same form factor as the flight control board mounting
holes so can be easily secured.
Run your wires through the hole in the base plate to keep things neat. You
should be able to sandwich the PDB and wiring between the bottom and belly
plates when you are done.

Complete the wiring by adding any additional components and your power input
connector.
Here we have added two LED strips to help with orientation and an XT60
connector.

Mount the four center standoffs to the base plate using four M3 10mm nylon
screws. It is important to do this now as you won’t be able to access the screw
heads once the belly plate is installed.

Install the belly plate and arms using the M3 10mm steel screws and lock-nuts.
For the prototype we only actually used 8 screws but 16 are provided for extra
security and strength. We have also supplied washers to go underneath the lock-
nuts although using these is entirely optional and can be omitted if preferred.
If you have used a PDB, you can secure this in place using the screws and
standoffs supplied to mount your flight controller.
