2. Attach the middle plate. Use M3*8mm screws to fix the frame protection plates below the middle plate.
3. Position and fix the aluminum pillars (M3*10, M3*20, M3*28) to the corresponding locations on the middle plate.
4. Install the camera TPU conversion plate and the camera side plates.
5. Mount the various accessories: buzzer mount, T-type antenna mount, O3 VTX fixed mount, GPS mount, and antenna base.
6. Finally, install the GoPro mount and secure the top plate.

Operating Instructions

The HGLRC Rekon7 PRO LR is a frame kit and does not have standalone operating instructions. Once assembled with a flight controller, motors, ESC, camera, and other necessary components, it forms a complete FPV drone. Please refer to the individual manuals for your flight controller, ESC, and radio system for specific operating procedures, calibration, and flight guidelines.

General operating principles for FPV drones include:

• Pre-Flight Checks: Always inspect all components for damage, loose connections, and correct propeller orientation before each flight.
• Battery Safety: Use appropriate batteries (e.g., 6S 1800-4200mAh as recommended) and follow all battery charging and handling safety guidelines.
• Flight Environment: Operate your drone in open areas, away from people, animals, and obstacles. Be aware of local regulations regarding drone flight.
• Arming/Disarming: Understand the arming and disarming procedures for your flight controller to safely start and stop motors.
• First Flights: Begin with gentle flights in a controlled environment to familiarize yourself with the drone's handling characteristics.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rekon7 PRO LR frame kit:

• Visual Inspection: After every crash or hard landing, thoroughly inspect the carbon fiber plates and arms for any cracks, delamination, or stress marks.
• Screw Tightness: Periodically check all screws and nuts for tightness. Carbon fiber frames can experience vibrations that may loosen fasteners over time. Apply thread-locker (e.g., blue Loctite) to metal-to-metal screws if necessary, but avoid on plastic or carbon fiber directly.
• Cleaning: Clean the frame with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• TPU Parts: Inspect TPU mounts (GoPro, GPS, antenna, buzzer, camera) for wear, tears, or deformation. Replace if damaged to ensure components remain secure.
• Arm Reinforcement: Ensure the arm reinforcement rods are securely in place and free from damage.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues related to the frame kit itself. For issues related to flight performance, electronics, or software, refer to the respective component manuals.

User Tips

• Versatile Use: This frame kit is designed for FPV, RC, and drone applications, offering flexibility for various build types.
• Component Compatibility: Always double-check the mounting hole patterns (flight controller, camera, motors) to ensure compatibility with your chosen electronics before assembly.
• Cable Management: Plan your wiring carefully to keep cables tidy and secure within the frame, preventing interference with propellers or moving parts.
• Thread-locker: For metal screws into metal parts, a small amount of non-permanent thread-locker (e.g., blue Loctite) can prevent screws from vibrating loose. Avoid using it on plastic or carbon fiber.

Warranty and Support

For warranty information and technical support, please contact the seller or manufacturer directly. Keep your proof of purchase for any warranty claims. This frame kit is intended for experienced hobbyists due to the nature of FPV drone building and operation.
