motor leads should run down the length of the boom. Make sure
they do not run in any other direction.
Figure 3-31. Our motor is sitting squarely on the boom ready to
be attached.
Now manually feed the
first screw through the boom’s motor
mounting hole and into the threaded holes on the bottom of the
motor. Once the first one is done, feed the opposite screw in and
keep going until you have all four in place (see Figure 3-32).
Once you have all of the screws manually fed into place, tighten
them turn for turn on opposing screws, similar to lug nuts on a
car (see Figure 3-33).
Now that you have the
first motor mounted in place, move on to
the remaining three. Don’t forget to keep an eye on what direc-
tion threads you are installing!
