|
||
|
||
<div class="image-group">
|
||
<img src="../assets/assembling_clever4_2/frame_1.png" width=300 class="zoom border">

|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
<img src="../assets/assembling_clever4_2/frame_3.png" width=300 class="zoom border center">

||
## Installing motors
|
||
|
||
1. When installing motors, pay attention to the rotation scheme of the motors. The rotation marking on the motors must match the rotation pattern.
|
||
|
||
<img id="prop_rotation" src="../assets/assembling_clever4/props_rotation.png" width=300 class="zoom border center">
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
<div class="image-group">
|
||
<img src="../assets/assembling_clever4_2/motor_1.png" width=300 class="zoom border">
|
||
<img src="../assets/assembling_clever4_2/motor_2.png" width=300 class="zoom border">
|
||
</div>

||
|
||
> **Caution** Make sure that the motors are secured with M3x5 screws, otherwise a short circuit between the windings may occur.
|
||
|
||
## Installing ESC and PDB

|
||
## Installing Flight Controller
|
||
|
||
Clover 4 drone kit allows you to install various flight controllers, for example [COEX Pix](coex_pix.md) and Pixracer.
|
||
|
||
> **Caution** During installation the flight controller, pay attention to the arrow located on the board, it should be directed to the copter bow.
|
||
|
||
### COEX Pix
|
||
|
||
> **Hint** Before installing the damper struts, screw 2 layers of nylon nuts, for a stronger fix or bite off the excess thread using side cutters.
|
||
|
||
Install the damper struts, fix COEX Pix on them with nylon nuts.
|
||
|
||
<img src="../assets/assembling_clever4_2/coex_pix.png" width=300 class="zoom border center">
