Take the balsa square and center the frame on it. Then, draw where the edges are and cut them out. But, be careful to leave the corners on. Next, glue the board face-down leaving a small space for the battery charge port.
Measure where the motors will go, and it should be right off the frame. Cut the extra bit off and fit the motor. Next, glue it on. You can use CA or hot glue.
Be sure to secure the battery before you fly or test.
