Drilling the frame?

[dean230276]

I would like to drill my lower frame in order to attach some retractable landing gear.  Does anyone know where the circuitry runs within the lower frame? i can';t find a picture anywhere.

If it';s a PDB. You can usually see the runs within the plastic. I could on my Diatone PDB so i managed to drill 3 more holes.

If you do drill the PDB which i don';t recommend make sure that the bolt you use does not create a short.

Been looking closely at it now for a bit and im thinking about just using two of the pre-drilled holes that i don';t use. I was going to use them any way but just wanted it to be a bit more secure.

I don';t no if all the pdb are the same but mine diatone is like a sandwich
+ runs on top with a thin film of plastic on top and the - run along the bottom with a thin film of plastic covering it to the bottom but at the connection pads on - goes right through to the soldering points
If it';s the same a few small hols shouldn';t hurt as long as you use plastic
Screws
I cracked my pdb half way across on the diatone right next to esc that powers my flight controller as well as the motor and it was fine till I crashed again and snapped it clean in two.
That';s when I had a look at how it was made
