ELEV-8 v3 Quadcopter Assembly Guide

Step 29: Fasten Propeller Adapters

The Propeller adapters allow you to easily attach and remove the Propellers, and ensure that they stay centered on the Motors.

Tools Needed:

  • #1 Philips Head Screwdriver

Parts Needed:

  • ELEV-8 v3 Assembly, prepared in Step 28
  • 16 – Flat Head Phillips Screws, M2 x12mm (four included with each motor)
  • 4 – Propeller Adapters (one included with each motor)

Instructions:

  1. Remove the nut and washer from the top of each propeller adapter and set aside for use in the next step.

  1. Place a Propeller adapter over the top of a motor, and align the screw holes with the motor.

  1. Use the supplied screws to secure the propeller adapter to the motor with the screwdriver. Tighten each screw until you begin to feel resistance, and then turn 1/8 of a turn more.

  1. Repeat for the remaining three motors.
