Disassemble the Copter




-Cut the propeller guard out with a cutting plier.
*be careful, don't cut the tiny wires!
-Remove PCB from the main housing with a screwdriver.
-Apply tiny drops of hot glue between the wires and the PCB.
*I have a bad experience that my wire broken after several plays & they are very difficult to solder back together. So it's very important to apply glue for reinforcement.
Connecting the Copter With the Main Body
