Info
To set up your new MK-OktoXL Plug-n-Play all you need is a screwdriver.
Solderings are not required. All components can be bolted and / or plugged.
Please read this page before you start to assemble your copter.
This is an electronic flight instrument. A careful and accurate building assures you a flawless function and much joy with your new MikroKopter.
The Basicset includes GFK Centerplates. The CFK Centerplate shown in some pictures can be ordered as an option (Link).
Step1 - The arms
Insert in the first step the arms into the Centerplate.
On image1 you can see how to mount the single arms into the Centerplate (please note - the motors and the labeling of the centerplate points upwards).
On image2 you see the 2 mounting holes you use on all arms.
Important: Insert the metal screws from the bottom of the Centerplate.
At the top you fix the screws with a self locking nut (M3)(image3). Only on the 4 points where you see the circle on the top, you use a dampener (M3x15) (image4).
What is needed:
- 1x arm 460mm - red with LED
- 3x arm 460mm - black
- 2x arm 355mm - black with LED
- 2x arm 355mm - black
- 16x screw M3x16 (metall)
- 12x self locking nut M3 (metall)
- 4x dampener M3x15
- 12x screw M3x16 black (plastic)
- 12x nut M3 black (plastic)
Please take care that you will not hurt or cut the cables.
At the edge of Center Plate, the arms can be fixed with 2 plastic screws and nuts. Only in 4 places instead of the plastic screw a metal screw (without nut) from top to bottom used (right picture). Here we mount the LiPo holder later.
If all is assembled it look like this:
Step2 - OktoXL V3 Combi PCB
Now we can install the OktoXL V3 Combi PCB. The LiPo cable is guided through the recess between the arms 6+7. Fix the PCB with the 8 plastic screws.
kabelbinder Important: The arrow of the PCB is pointing to the red arm #1.
What is needed:
- 8x screws M3x8 black (plastic)
If this is done, fix the LiPo cabel with one of the bigger cable tie.
Important: As you can see in the pictures, the LiPo cable must be twisted. This prevents compass error!
What is needed:
- 1x cable tie (3.5mm/110mm)
Connect the PCB
In the next step we can connect the motors, the LED's and the buzzer with the PCB.
Important: Take a look on the pictures in which direction the plugs are connected.
Motor 1-8
The direction of rotation of each motor is determined by the plug-in order of the three cables. On the PCB you will find a note for each color you have to plug in:
1,3,5,7 => A=gray, B=blue, C=black (left turning Propeller)
2,4,6,8 => A=blue, B=gray, C=black (right turning Propeller)
(Declaration of propeller rotation direction: "Step7 - Propeller".)
TIP: If the turning direction is wrong, change only 2 of the 3 cables.
LED
Connect the LED cables in the right way. the Black cable to "-" and the red one to "+" or "L" (see pictures). A wrong connected LED will not work.
Buzzer
You can also plug the buzzer. Also here take care about the direction. The buzzer must give a sign if you connect (later) the LiPo.
Step3 - FlightCtrl
Before we install the FlightCtrl we install a plastic spacers M3x10 on each dampener. On this spacers we mount the FlightCtrl and fix it with a plastic spacers M3x15.
Important: The arrow of the FlightCtrl is pointing to the red arm #1.
Both cables of the FlightCtrl (for the receiver) are guided through the recess between the arms 5+6.
Connect the Tiny Servo Adapter with the SERVO connection on the FlightCtrl. The cables of the Tiny Servo Adapter are also guided through the recess between the arms 5+6 (here you can connect a camera gimbal).
After the FlightCtrl is fixed we can connect it with 5pol molex cable with the OktoXL V3 Combi PCB. The gray cable of the OktoXL V3 Combi PCB is connected to the switching output (L) of the FLightCtrl. With this output we can switch the front LED.
What is needed:
- 4x plastic spacers M3x10 black (plastic)
- 4x nut M3 black (plastic)
- 1x Molex cabel 5pol
- 1x Tiny Servo Adapter
You can now assemble the MKGPS V3.5 as you can see here.
What is needed:
- Nut M3 black (plastic)
Step4 - LiPo holder
Up to 2 5000mAh LiPo's parallel you can use with this LiPo holder.
We fix the LiPo holder with the 4 metal screws on the bottom of the Centerplate. Please note that the opening of the LiPo holder points to arm #7.
Step5 - The safety hood
To save the electronic we use a hood. On the left and on the right side of the hood we have 2 holes for the screws. Install the hood on the copter that the 2 holes are pointing to the left and right side of the copter. Fix the hood with 2 tapping screws on each side.
Step6 - Landing gear
The MikroKopter will get now a safe state with the landing gear HiLander26. For this we assemble a HiLander26 on each short arm. Please note that the HiLander will point outside.
What is needed:
4x HiLander26
Step7 - Propeller
In the last step we mount the propellers. We use 4 left and 4 right turning propellers. So please note the direction of rotation.
The left turning propellers we mount on the large arms and the right turning propellers on the short arms.
Here you see how to fix the propeller:
INFO
Please use the EPP Propeller for training flights..
And the CFK Propeller for a flight under payload.
Now we are ready and the copter should look like you see here:

Perfect. Now you are here ready and you can go on with the first setting of your new copter.
Initial startup
Before you can fly you have to set up your copter. This is easy and you need the MikroKopter to do this ([en/Download|Download]]). With the KopterTool you can set up the channels for the functions of your copter.
Here you can see how to do it: Step by Step
Safety
A Copter can also be dangerous. The confidence in dealing with the copter comes first, so read carefully:
