When assembling your two body halves make sure the bottom plate is flipped so the brackets that hold the wire rope are on the inside of the body. If the brackets are on the outside there won’t be enough space to fit your battery between the body and camera tray.
When positioning the tail boom, make sure the space between the back of the tail assembly and the body is between 8.5″ and 9″.
