Introduction

The quadcopter consists of circuit boards, motors, and LEDs which must be extracted and transferred into a new body. The replacement is easy, quick, and requires no special tools.

Note that the components in this model are extremely sensitive to direction and must be oriented properly inside the new body. Take special care to record and note the orientation of each component you extract.

What you need

Step 1
