DJI NAZA Build - Part 1 - Unboxing

Getting ready for the Hexa Build.

This is really a very meticulous build. As from what I have searched from the web it's going to take 24hours for the build, however as a newbie it might take more. So here's part 1 - unboxing the DJI F550.

Below is the box kit, that contains the F550 frame, 6 motors, 6 ESC's opto 30A, 8pcs 10inch rotors, 8pcs 8inch rotors, screws (a lot of them), and other things that you'll be using to connect everything.

The packaging is superb. All items are grouped together and are properly labeled. 

So before doing anything, first you have to download their user's manual. Take note that a CD nor any paper documentation came with the box. I think their lowering down the cost of production that's why these were not included. But for me, it's not a problem, the lower the price the better.

You can download the manual on their site:

Once you have downloaded the manual, be sure to read it or at least browse through it to atleast give you an overview on how tedious the work will be (basing it on my own standards).

Go to the assembly page (page 6) of the manual and from there you can almost assemble everything.

As a pre-caution DO-NOT assemble the rotors to the motors. You can initially place a masking tape to check if the rotors are turning clockwise or counter-clockwise. Also, during calibration rotors should be removed. Only when you are ready to fly, that should be the time that the rotors be assembled.

Here I have attached the motor to each of the arms. Please remember that the RED arms will serve as the front of your aircraft.

That's it for now, will post the succeeding build process in my next blog.
