Figure 5.1: Assembled LDARC M5 200mm FPV Racing Drone Frame Kit. This image displays the carbon fiber frame structure with four arms extending outwards, a central body section, and a vibrant pink injection-molded canopy mounted on top, providing protection for internal components and housing for the FPV camera. The frame is lightweight and designed for high-performance FPV racing.

The LDARC M5 frame consists primarily of a carbon fiber main plate and arms, designed for maximum rigidity and minimal weight. The kit includes various standoffs and screws to assemble the frame and mount your electronic components. The interchangeable canopies offer both protection and aesthetic customization.

• Carbon Fiber Arms: Four 6mm thick arms provide robust support for motors and resist bending during crashes.
• Main Plate: The central carbon fiber plate serves as the foundation for mounting the flight controller, ESCs, and other electronics.
• Placa superior: A smaller carbon fiber plate that mounts above the main plate, often used for mounting the video transmitter or receiver.
• Standoffs: Aluminum or nylon standoffs create space between the plates for component installation and airflow.
• Tapa: The injection-molded canopy protects the FPV camera and other sensitive electronics, while also providing a mounting point for the camera.

6. Guía de configuración

6.1. Lista de verificación previa á montaxe

• Asegúrate de ter un espazo de traballo limpo e ben iluminado.
• Gather necessary tools: small screwdrivers (hex/Phillips), tweezers, small pliers, thread-locker (optional but recommended for motor screws).
• Familiarize yourself with all frame components and hardware.

6.2. Pasos de montaxe

1. Attach Arms to Main Plate: Secure the four carbon fiber arms to the main bottom plate using the provided screws. Ensure they are oriented correctly to form the 'X' or 'H' configuration, depending on the main plate design. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid stripping.
2. Instalar separadores: Mount the appropriate standoffs onto the main plate. These will support the top plate and provide mounting points for your flight controller stack.
3. Mount Flight Controller (FC) and ESCs:
   • The frame supports both 20x20mm and 30.5x30.5mm FC mounting patterns. Choose the appropriate mounting holes.
   • Carefully install your flight controller and Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) onto the standoffs. Ensure proper insulation to prevent short circuits.
4. Attach Motors: Mount your chosen FPV drone motors to the end of each arm using the 16mm motor mounting pattern. Apply a small amount of thread-locker to motor screws to prevent them from vibrating loose during flight.
5. Install FPV Camera: The frame features a 14mm camera spacing. Secure your FPV camera within the designated slot in the canopy or frame structure.
6. Mount Top Plate and Canopy: Secure the top carbon fiber plate onto the standoffs. Then, attach your preferred injection-molded canopy to the frame, ensuring it snaps or screws into place securely.
7. Compoñentes do arame: Carefully wire all electronic components (motors to ESCs, ESCs to FC, FC to receiver/VTX/camera) according to their respective manuals. Pay close attention to polarity and signal direction.
8. Inspección final: Before powering on, double-check all connections, screw tightness, and ensure no wires are pinched or exposed.

7. Instrucións de funcionamento

This product is a drone frame kit and does not operate independently. Once assembled with all necessary electronic components (flight controller, ESCs, motors, FPV system, receiver, battery), the operation will depend on the specific configuration and firmware of your flight controller.

• Flight Controller Configuration: Refer to the manual of your chosen flight controller (e.g., Betaflight, EmuFlight, Kiss) for detailed instructions on firmware flashing, PID tuning, and radio setup.
• Comprobacións previas ao voo: Always perform thorough pre-flight checks, including propeller direction, battery voltage, radio link, and FPV video feed, before each flight.
• Safe Flying Practices: Operate your FPV drone responsibly and in accordance with local regulations. Always fly in open areas, away from people and obstacles.

8. Mantemento

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your LDARC M5 frame and ensure optimal performance.

• Inspección posterior ao voo: After each flight, inspect the carbon fiber arms and plates for any cracks or delamination. Check all screws for tightness, especially motor screws.
• Limpeza: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the frame and electronic components. Avoid using liquids directly on electronics.
• Comprobación de compoñentes: Periodically check the condition of your canopies for cracks or damage. Replace any severely damaged parts to maintain structural integrity and protection.
• Almacenamento: Store the frame and assembled drone in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
