- This tutorial is to help me and others in building the 180 Eachine Falcon. Some items that the original Falcon uses might not be used in the assembly, because i didn't need them, or I found an easier cheaper way of assembly. I will try to follow as close to the original.
The 180 Eachine Falcon Frame

This is the frame I purchased from Banngood.

This connector I will not use. It attaches to the bottom of the board and soldered from the top.

It is used to connect the Smart LED that Eachine uses.

These regulators are 12 volt and 5 volt. (last 2 digits show the voltage)

Take note of the numbers 5 and 12. Place regulators in their proper place.

Now we are going to move onto the assembly of the Motors to Frame
