Page 7: Tools Required For Assembly
Double-sided adhesive tape • Blue threadlock (Loctite) • 12 mm Heat Shrink tubing ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT THAT YOU WILL NEED (to fly air- craft) • Radio Transmitter (and compatible 6 channel or more receiver) • Lipo Battery 3S ( Capacity of 3000mAH or higher recommended) PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION Before starting to assemble your SKY-HERO aircraft, it is important to plan your build. You should check that you have all of the parts and components that you will need. You should also think about what accessories you might want to add to the aircraft and also where on the frame you will locate them. For example you might want to add a Camera Gimbal or navigation lights. You need to consider how any accessories that you might add, could affect the Centre of Gravity as well as things like which route the wiring will take. Some wires might need to be shortened whilst others mi- ght need to be extended. One tip is (prior to starting the assembly) lay out your electronics, motors, wiring, etc against the frame and check that there is space for everything. If you will locate the ESCs in the arms of the Aircraft as recommended, it may be necessary to ad- just the length of their cables to avoid excessive cabling in the main body or the tubes of the frame. Remember that if you will fold the arms away after flying, you may need some extra cable to allow for the bending of the arms. The setup of the NAZA flight controller is not covered within this manual as full instructions can be found on the DJI website (www.dji.com) under NAZA-M (http://www.dji.com/product/naza-m-v2). -
Page 8: Assembling The Top Frame
ASSEMBLING THE TOP FRAME • Secure the reinforcements of frame at the upper frame (2) using the M3 x 10 mm Pan Head screws (1). • Also attach the canopy bracket (4) using M3 x 6 mm button head screws (5). Use a small drop of Blue thread-lock (Loctite). Note: Do not over tighten the screws in the plastic. -
Page 9: Installing The Motors
INSTALLING THE MOTORS Orientate the motor in the motor mount, so that the leads can pass through the hole to the tube. Check that when the motor is in it’s correct position, it will be able to turn freely, and that if there is a clip on base of the motor, that it is not rubbing against the hole in the middle of the motor mount. Mount the engines (7) on their supports (8) with the 3 x 6 mm button head screws (5) and washers (9).Identify which holes will be used to secure the motor and apply a small amount of blue Thread lock to each hole in the bottom of the motor. Make sure that there is no excess Thread lock that might make contact with the plastic parts as this could cause the plastic parts of the frame to weaken and break – with dangerous consequences if the aircraft is in flight. Note : For more information on mounting motors, you can visit the SKY-HERO channel on YouTube and watch the video : “Sky Hero How to Mount Your Motors” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-xQFuDLJi0... -
Page 10: Connecting The Escs To The Motors
Please refer to Image on next page. Bind your Receiver to your Transmitter (in accordance with the Transmitter or Receiver instruction manual). Ensure that none of your motors have their propellers attached, and connect each motor to each of your ESCs (10). Place a motor mount (8) with it’s engine securely mounted inside (but without the 2nd half of the motor mount attached), in a secure position where it will not injure anyone or your property when it starts up. Make sure your Transmitter is switched off. Taking one ESC & Motor combination at a time, connect the ESC signal cable to the throttle channel of your receiver, ensure that your Transmitter Throttle control is at the lowest position and Turn on your Transmitter. Connect your receiver to suitable power source (typically 6v, but check your receiver manual to be sure), connect your ESC power cables to a 3s or 4s Lipo battery. If you have not already done so, you should calibrate your ESC to your transmitter (refer to the manual of your ESC for the method to follow) If you are using a SKY-HERO supplied ESC, see Appendix 1 in this manual for the ESC instructions. Considering the position where the motor arm will be located on the aircraft frame, apply a small amount of throttle and check that motor’s direction of rotation is correct in relation to the diagram in the section «Aircraft Motor rotation and Identification». If the motor is turning in the wrong direction, you can reverse it’s direction of rotation by swopping over any 2 (of the 3 wires) that go between the ESC and the Motor. -
Page 11: Overview Of Aircraft Arms Direction Of Rotation
2 of your 4 motors must rotate in a clockwise direction (CW) and the other 2 in an anti-clockwise direction (CCW). The aircraft has 2 pairs of different sized arms (2 arms of the same size equals one pair). Within a pair, one arm must be setup with 1 motor turning clockwise and 1 with a motor turning anti-clockwise (see the section “Overview of Aircraft arms direction of rotation”). Note: While you are still assembling your Aircraft, it is a good idea to place a smaller label or sticker, on the motor mount (8) - indicating the direction. It is also worthwhile indicating a motor number (between 1- 4) on the same label. Attaching a similar label to the ESC signal cable with the same number (between 1 - 4) will make things easier when you come to connect the motors to your Flight Controller. Further help can be found by watching the Video «SKY-HERO HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR MOTOR MOUNTS» on the Sky-HERO YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=bvkSoewk7Mw OVERVIEW OF AIRCRAFT ARMS DIRECTION OF ROTATION... -
Page 12: Assembly Of The Complete Arm With Motor & Esc
ASSEMBL Y OF THE COMPLETE ARM WITH MOTOR & ESC The carbon tube (Part No. 11/12) has 2 pairs of holes. One pair has a smaller gap between them; this end of the tube should be fixed in the motor mount. On the inside of each motor mount (8) there are two small studs, these must be orientated to coin- cide with the holes that are in the carbon arms. Fix the motor mounts on their respective arms using 3 X 10 mm (14) Socket head screws and nuts M3 (15). Slide the arm inserts (9) into each tube. You should ensure that the ESC power leads exit the tube from the outer edge of the tube, across the Insert (13), and into the center of the aircraft. Do not overtighten the 4 screws that secure the motor mount to the carbon tube. A small space must be visible between the two motor mounts halves Make sure that these 3 nuts M3 (15) are orientated cor- rectly to fit inside the hole and ensure that they are fully inserted into the motor mount hole. If the nuts are not fully inserted, the screw will not connect and the two mo- tor mount halves will not be securely connected... -

Page 21: Attaching The Prop Adapter And Propeller On The Motor
ATTACHING THE PROP ADAPTER AND PROPELLER ON THE MOTOR Install the prop shafts (37) onto each motor (4) – a small drop of thread lock can be applied into each hole. Refer to the diagram on the previous page to ensure that you have the right Propeller (CW/ CCW) for the arm, and install the propeller as per the adjacent diagram. Depending on the diameter of the prop shaft, you might need to use an insert or washer that comes with your propellers to ensure a tight fit to the shaft and proper alignment. We recommend that you use a prop balancer to balance your propellers, then connect the propellers on each motor – (ensuring that their direction of rotation corresponds to the diagram on page 11). -

Page 23: Checks Before The First Flight
CHECKS BEFORE THE FIRST FLIGHT Operate your aircraft safely Refer to and follow all safety precautions mentioned in the “General Instructions and Guidelines for use” section of this manual. Ensure that you always turn on your transmitter before connecting the aircraft battery power. After flying, make sure that you always disconnect the aircraft battery before turning off the transmitter. NAZA Flight Controller If you are using the NAZA Flight Controller, follow the Naza Flight Controller pre flight checks (pay attention to indications that you may need to Calibrate your Flight Controller before flight). Full instructions for the NAZA Flight Controller can be found on the DJI website (www.dji.com) under NAZA-M (http://www.dji.com/product/naza-m-v2). You should make sure you have access to the manual and necessary software, in order to configure the flight controller. Flight Test your Little Spyder Fly 5 minutes in hover and then land your aircraft. Disconnect the battery and check the temperature of the engines and tubes: they may be warm, but must not be hot. Recharge the battery and check the capacity (mAh) that your charger puts back into the battery. This mah value will correspond to the power consumption of your Little6 during the 5 minute flight. Calculating your ideal flight time : • If for example: you use a 5000 mAh battery and after 5 minutes of hovering, you put it on charge and 2000 mAh of power is put back into the battery. • To translate this into your ideal flight time, you need to divide the capacity of the battery (5000mAh) by recharged mAh amount (2000mAh) and multiply the result by the duration of your flight in mi- nutes (5 min). -
