# Assembly

This section will guide you through assembly of the antenna and propellers on the drone.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Antenna" %}
Screw on the antennas to the sides of the FPV and slightly tighten it.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Both antennas has to be mounted for proper function!
{% endhint %}

Proceed to next step of mounting propellers.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Propellers" %}
There are two different pairs of propellers with different direction of rotation. They have to be mounted as follows:

Slide the shaft through the propeller hole and screw on the securing nut. Tighten it firmly using the wrench. Repeat procedure on all four propellers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are mounting 10" propellers, an additional contact washer is required for each propeller. Place the washer on top of the propeller before securing the nut, ensuring that the washer teeth face downward.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Propellers have to be firmly tightened and must not freely move on the shaft without motor movement.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Mounting battery

{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended to **charge a battery before mounting it.** You are unable to arm the drone without sufficiently charged battery.
{% endhint %}

Put the battery on the upper plate of the FPV with cables facing to the back of the drone. Secure the battery using two Velcro fasteners (dry zip).

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Do not plug in the battery for now!**

**Plugging in the battery will automatically turn on the drone, which will be armed if arm switch is in the wrong position!**
{% endhint %}
