-  - Mount the motors in the holes. Follow [[projects:crazyflie:mechanics:assembly#motors_and_propellers | the normal mapping]] for the top motor and inverse it for the newly added bottom motor. So where ever the black wire is attached from the top motor, the white should be attached from the bottom motor and vice versa. +
-  - Now mount the propellers. Follow [[projects:crazyflie:mechanics:assembly#motors_and_propellers | the normal mapping]] for the top motors and the same mapping for the bottom motors. So if a CCW propeller is attached on the top motor, a CCW propeller should be attached on the bottom motor. Both the propellers should the facing the same way, so don't turn the bottom propeller up side down. +
