Unboxing and Assembly
- Open the Aerotenna Smart Drone Development Platform box
- Remove the airframe, and unfold the armatures; they should click into place
- Remove the four legs from the foam packing, screw them into the bottom of the frame just inside the motors
In a separate bag in the box, you should have the following equipment necessary for the remaining assembly steps:
- Remove the SD card from its packaging and insert it into the OcPoC Flight Controller, there should be slight resistance and a firm click into place.
- Remove the backing on the Self-adhesive Velcro® section and firmly attach to your battery
- Velcro® your battery to the underside of the airframe and securely fasten with the additional Velcro® straps.
- Ensure that all cables are connected.
The marker on each propeller is very small, so we've included where to look for them
Note:
The arrow on the GPS module points to the front of the aircraft; the rear is indicated via the ground facing μLanding.
- Using the hex screws and Allen wrench provided, attach the clockwise propellers on the motors where indicated in the picture below:
- Attach the counter-clockwise propellers where indicated in the picture below:
- Remove the foam cover concealing the controller, and unwrap the controller.

ATTENTION
While the controller will turn on out-of-the-box, the battery is charged for storage and will need a full charge before flight
- Connect the USB telemetry unit to a laptop or ground station.
- Once all batteries are charged, connect the drone battery to the main plug
- Follow the instructions for your given ground control software.
