So are you wondering how to assemble the mini Laser 230 quad from hobbyking? Then this is the article for you! We're going to give you a detailed description as we build the frame and install the FPV gear and other equipment. So let's start!
Included in the package:
- 4 carbon fiber plates
- 50 screws (M2 I think)
- 8 bolts (M2)
- 12 Dark red aluminium spacers
- 1 FPV camera mount carbon plat
- 8 vibration dampeners
Figure 1. All the components
Step 1: Take the second plate from the left as shown in figure 1 and put in the vibration dampeners. Leave the two wholes in the middle open.

Figure 3. Dampeners in place with the middle two wholes open.
Step 2: Line up the motor arms with the screw wholes from the plate with the rubber balls. Take the second plate from the right as shown in figure one and also line up the wholes with the screw wholes of the upper plate and the arms. Put the screws threw the three wholes and tighten on the bolts.
Figure 4. Screws in place threw the upper plate, the arm and the bottom plate.
Figure 5. Bolts in place. As you can see there are som scratches on the carbon fiber caused by uncareful handeling of Hobbyking. As usual...
Step 3: UPDATE: SEE STEP 4 BEFORE DOING THIS STEP! Mount the plate shown on the left in figure 1 onto the plate with the rubber dampeners.

Figure 8. The whole plate will be vibration free so the Naze32 will probably mounted straight to the plate.
Step 4. Put the screws through the plate so the spacers can be screwed on. I was being silly and had to take the plate off the rubber balls cause I couldn't tighten the screws so please do this step before you mount the plate on the rubber balls.

Step 5. Put in the FPV Camera mount plate in the two slits.

Step 6: Mount the right plate as shown in figure 1 onto the red spacers.

Step 7: Mounting the landing gear speaks for itself I think so I'll add some photos so you can see. This step is optional but I did it just to show you guys.

Once I've received all the electronics I'll update or repost this guide so you can follow along when I'm adding the equipment. Hope this helped you out! If it did or if you found it useful please leave a good rating and comment. We love to hear from other multirotor fanatics!
