Welcome to part 3 of our building a quadcopter series. In this tutorial, we'll cover the building process.

This step, just like all of the parts you might buy, is highly variable. At the most basic level, the connections are all the same. For exactly how you put together your frame, see the instructions with it. For exact placement for your other parts, that's all up to you for the most part. Your flight control board needs to be at the center point for balance purposes.

Some motors are universal, others are specifically threaded. If your motor is "self tightening," then this means it is meant to spin in only one direction in order to keep the propellers on. Pictured below contains the intended motor rotation, along with motor numbers. Generally, if you have threaded motor shafts, then motors 1 and 3 will have black tips and 2 and 4 will be silver.
