I guess it’s kind of self explanatory, but have you located any assembly instructions? www.hexsoon.com has links for downloads that do not work.

No I did not find any at all very little about it but it went together very well not sure when I will maiden it weather here so bad but will keep you posted any questions just ask
The top plate has 4 holes that line up with the PDB, but there are no screws that fit those holes and M3 plastic standoffs are too big. I guess I’m gonna use 2 sided tape.
Yes I used double sided tape on mine but am thinking of changing layout again
ile take more photos of mine tonight

I was intending to put the battery between the top/bottom plates. Looks lie that space is occupied by wires on your build. Is that the reason you want to change it? If you put the battery on the bottom there won’t be a space for Gimbal/camera.

after ive test flowen it yes will change things around will get decent tune then change and retune
I have a little 3Dprinted mounting plate so you can bolt the cube on, I found the holes in the arm mounts give good places to attach the battery monitor, receiver and telem radio.
Note the holes are 4mm for m3 heat set insets

Hi Pete,wow more ideas for me and thank you,couple questions how does it fly,what battery please and how long flight time
No idea yet, not flow it. Was planning on 4S 5000mah as a first try, but only because I have one already. I understand the motors and props are the equivalent to a 3DR Solo and that is a 4S 5200mah so it should be close to that.

Hi Marty,

That looks awesome,what are the rods on the side of the arms please,and do you have a file for the canopy please,im in love with my 450 as well
Thank you!
The rods are the antennas of a Herlink (not the best place but I want to test it).
The canopy is adapted to a very special setup and combination of electronics and it is not well balanced yet. I think its not very useful currently. But I keep you updated.

Thank you Tobias,yes ive got a here link that I will try on it but my set up is good at the moment maybe later if we can get them ile build A new one for the herelink not sure
I do not have a Cube inside but a mRo x2.1. Therefore it quite small. I will probably change the design to fit a cube on the mini carrier board. But bringing the weight into the center is quite tricky with all the different and quite heavy components.
