This page has details about how to assemble the Crazyflie nano quadcopter kit.
What's in the packet
Crazyflie control board
5 x motor mounts (one as spare)
5 x coreless motors (one as spare)
5 x CW propellers
5 x CCW propellers
1 LiPo battery
Tools you need
Soldering iron and solder
Scissors
Tweezers and a clamp or third-hand recommended
What do you need to do
TODO: Insert images here
Check that you have everything that's needed
Twist the two motor wires together so they are easier to handle
Slip the twisted motor wires through the motor mount arm section. I can be a bit tricky so have patience.
Insert the motor into the motor mount and be careful to not damage the motor wires while inserting it.
Press the motor mount on to the PCB arm. Start with M1.
Try to attach the peeled end of the motor wire into the motor through hole pad. Start with white wire on round pad on M1.
Turn the PCB around carefully not removing the wire from the hole and solder it from the top of the PCB.
Repeat step 2-7 for the rest of the arms M2, M3 and M4.
Attach the propellers (see drawings blow for mapping)
Attached the battery and try to centre it on the PCB as good as you can.
Power on and check that all motors spin correctly during start-up.

Motors and propellers
The following images show how to solder the motors and attach the propellers. The black pads should have the black wire attached and the white pads should have the white wire attached.
