Frame assembly – Flipmode and Juicemode

• • Assemble base plate ‘sandwich’ of top plate, arms then locking plate
  • Use the 12mm screws on outer holes, and the 26mm screw on the inner stack holes into the lock plate, then thru the arm and finally the lower body plate.
  • With the carbon parts in place, then hand tighten the press nuts onto the screw with serrated edge facing down and then drive home the press nuts with allen key/driver by turning the screw and the press nuts will cinch into their seated position
  • Newer versions use only 8 black press nuts – no lock nuts! Press nuts work better.

Install standoffs

• • On the Flipmode use the 8mm button head screws to attach the 20mm standoffs to the base plate
  • On the Juicemode the standoffs are 30mm (scroll image to right)

ESC and Motor mounting:

• Mount motors with 6mm screws direct or 8mm screws and washers if using arm guards.
• Titanium screws available to save weight
• Cut motor wires and solder to ESC power pads
• Solder capacitor with 18 awg wire to lipo power pads
• Place nylon washer supplied on press nut then mount 4in1 ESC as shown
• Solder motor wires to ESC pads

FPV Camera mounting:

• Flipmode 2 takes a 28mm standard size camera, or Mini with bracket
• Juicemode 2 takes Mini (21mm) size camera or micro when in ‘slammed’ setup.
• Analogue recommended – Foxeer Predator mini
• Flipmode 2 digital recommended – Caddx Nebula Pro Vista
• Juicemode 2 digital recommended – DJI Camera Vista

Aikon F4 example wiring:

• FPV camera – Use 9cm of wire from Predator cables and connect to flight controller: Black Ground-ground, Red-Cam+, Yellow Video-video, OSD jack White wire-Cam Control. Bridge power to use ‘Bat’. (ignore image is using 5v – Bat is better).
• XM+ receiver: Use 5cm servo cable wire for : Black-Ground, Red-5v, White-RX1
• Tramp VTX-FC: Use 7cm of wire: Yellow Video-Video, Red-Bat+, Black-G(round), Tramp T Telemetry-TX1. Can remove Tramp Audio. Keep but cover 5v and extra ground in case it is needed to power FPV cam in case of issues.

Mount flight controller into frame

• Use 4mm nylon spacer above ESC then connect 4in1 esc and mount flight controller
• Orientation IMPORTANT – check images – FC should have ESC connector at rear and USB socket under the board
• Connect FPV camera and Tramp VTX
• Insert Tramp antenna SMA and tighten onto TPU with pliers on each side
• Recommend electrical tape on XM+ and Tramp for isolation
• Bind receiver
• Zip tie XM+/Tramp stack using provided zip tie slots

• Or zip tie is classic FPV method for FrSky type antenna
• Place zip tie included in kits around arm as shown, and feed antenna through clamping it on arm
• Note zip tie clasp should be positioned at bottom rear of arm should pull outwards
• Cut tie to length and slide included 2mm heatshrink over tie and antenna
• Use heat gun/lighter to shrink heat shrink
• Add some extra electrical tape to secure

Prepare Top Plate

• Mount foam pad onto top plate (I know-the sticky paper is annoying to remove, keep picking…)
• Mount lipo straps onto top plate and front camera cage on Flipmode

Finishing Up…

• Use countersunk screws to mount top plate
• Slot in rubber grommet for power lead
