Rotor Riot HD1-SF Build User manual

The arms may vary depending on the model of frame,
however the assembly process is the same.
Make sure the Press Fit Nuts are facing upwards, and not towards the arms.
Tighten screws until snug, and then a little bit more.
Pro tip: Make sure the tip of the hex driver is fully seated in the screw head
before tightening. This will avoid stripping the screw.

Propellers Identification Number
This number is used to identify the size and pitch of the
propeller. You can also use this number as a reference to
differentiate rotation between clockwise (CW) and
counter-clockwise (CCW) props.

Propeller Lock-Nuts
Always use lock-nuts and tighten with the proper size
socket. Do not use thread lock on these. Never use a metal
vise grip or other metal tools to hold the motor bell
housing; this will cause damage to the motor.
