Introduction
Flybrix is designed for experimentation, creativity and learning. Trial and
error is the heart and soul of this kit. Why? That’s where the “a-ha” moments
happen, that’s where the learning happens, that’s where the lines between
fun and education get blurred. Flybrix is all about providing a safe, fun,
sometimes silly platform for asking and answering “how” and “why”
questions that take us on the journey of understanding how things work.
In this manual are three quadcopter designs and a basics lesson giving you
the fundamentals for building your own creations. We’re continually adding
more build instructions to the Flybrix site!
If you happen to get turned around in the process, we’re here for you! Visit
the forum on flybrix.com, or email support@flybrix.com for help.
Taking to the skies: Once you’ve built your airframe, it’s time to fly! Ask anyone
who flies drones, they’ll tell you flying is a skil.. It takes practice to do well. Some
people even go to special piloting schools to learn how to do it! Flybrix is the
perfect platform to learn how to become an ace pilot because the drones you
build are small, light and they collapse on hard crashes. They go back together
in a jiffy. The designs we’ve given you are stable, balanced frames that fly well.
Experiment with flying these designs first to get a feel for how to fly Flybrix. Or
not… You do you!
Exploring more: Once you’re ready, take your kit to the next level by visit-
ing the user forum on flybrix.com. You’ll see other ways to use the parts you
already have, plus see some exciting new ones, learn how to tweak your air-
frames, share schematics, and meet the Flybrix community. On the last page of
these instructions we have a few game ideas that are fun to play, even with just
two people!
Leveling up: Download the Flybrix Chrome extension from the Chrome Web
Store for access to our code, configuration tools, community, and more! The
Configurator visualizes the data that comes off your Flybrix and your controller.
Features like: sensor feedback, balance, thrust levels, motor positioning, bat-
tery output etc. When you start getting into new designs with different motor
placements and adding motors, The Configurator will be your go-to in order
to get your airframes adjusted to get them flying. Visit our GitHub page www.
Github/Flybrix for more programming). Flybrix is all open-source and hackable.
The BETA ZONE: in the Flybrix app, if you touch the Flybrix logo in the upper
right hand corner, that will take you to the BETA ZONE where we are testing
new features. As the name suggests, these are in BETA form, so there aren’t any
instructions. Check out the features and let us know what you like and if you
have any questions in the Flybrix Forum. www.flybrix/forum.

Getting Started: Know Your Kit
Brick Bag: There are enough bricks in this kit to build a varieties of quadcopters. Get creative later on by adding your own bricks! The color of your bricks will
most likely be different from the instruction pictures. It’s important to reference shape and size of your bricks while you’re building, not color matching.
Prop wrench: Use this wrench to pop your propellers off to avoid damage to your motors.
Battery: Pay close attention to the way the battery connector is keyed.
It’s dangerous to plug the battery in backwards to both the charger and the flight board.
Here are some additional resources so you can read up on battery safety:
BEFORE YOU START BUILDING... Charge your battery!
PRIOR TO FLYING: UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE. We are constantly updating the
software and firmware that improve the Flybrix experience.
The battery has one side of the connector plain plastic and
the other side has metal connection points.
Connect the battery with the plain plastic side up.
Properly connected battery!

Let’s Build the “Flat X-Wing” Quad 1.
Attach (4) Boom-Arms to (2) 1x8 bricks.
*Notice the next few instruction pictures are in black and white. That’s
to remind you that the colors of your bricks don’t matter. Use the brick
shapes as your reference for which bricks to use.
All Flybrix airframes have their strengths and weaknesses. The point is
to have fun getting to understand where these strengths and
weaknesses occur, why and how through building and flying.
This particular design called the “Flat X Wing” is quick to build, light and
nimble in the air, is moderately balanced, and breaks apart quite
spectacularly on most crashes. There next build in the instructions offer
more flight stability. The following build offers more durability. Give
them all a try!

2.
Attach the flight control board.
*The “front” of your airframe is where the cables attach to the flight
control board. Orientation is important when you’re building!
Attach (1) 1x4 brick to the back of your airframe below the battery con-
nector cords, with one row of the brick sticking out past the 1x8 bricks.
Attach (1) 2x4 brick to the front of your airframe, flush with the 1x8
bricks.

Attach (1) tail fin.
Attach the flat brick that comes with your battery to the 1x4 brick. This
tile has velcro on it, to hold the battery in place.

Colors and placement really matter in the next few steps! Take two
motors that have black and white leads coming off the bottom. Gently
push the motors into the boom arms from the bottom to the top. Push
them in so they’re about even with the bottom edge of the boom arms.

Now, get two more motors that have the red and blue cables coming
off the bottom. Gently push the motors into the boom arms from the
bottom to the top. Push them in so they’re about even with the bottom
edge of the boom arms.
* The difference between the red/blue motors and the black/white
motors is that the red/blue motors spin clockwise and the white/black
ones spin counter clockwise. This is the key to lift and steady flight.

Know your props
60 MM
65 MM
Your Quad Starter Kit contains two sizes of props. (Orange/red props are
60mm and the yellow/black props are 65 mm).
The 65 mm props spin faster and create more lift.
Quadcopter instructions are designed for one size of propeller to be
used on all four motors at one time.
If you want to experiment with using different sizes of props at the same
time, realize your flight results will be unpredictable - but it might make
for a fun set of flight tests!
