Pack 07 Contains Stages 28 - 32
Stage 28 - Contains a drive unit for the front right rotor (anti-clockwise) and an M6 nut (anti-clockwise).
Take the black M6 nut from this stage and insert it into the nut-hole in the underside of the anti-clockwise rotor from Stage 15. Then twist the rotor onto the drive unit until it stops. (Do not overtighten it, as the anti-clockwise rotation of the motor will keep the rotor fixed).
This completes Stage 28. Set aside the rotor until Stage 30.Tomick attached the following image(s):

Stage 29 - Contains sidebar terminals, sidebar, red orientation ball, rotor arm hinges, 3mm M3 grub screws, 6mm M2 screw and 12mm M2 screws.
Take one of the two hinges from this stage and the arm from Stage 26. Bring the arm and the hinge together, aligning the small holes in the arm and the hinge, as in Stage 3. Push the pin (from Stage 26) into the hole in the side of the hinge. The locking pin should be perfectly flush with the outer surface of the hinge.
Store the arm in a labelled back for future use.
Take the orientation ball and the 6mm M2 screw, secure the ball onto the undercarriage front leg as you did on the other front undercarriage leg.
Take the two sidebar terminals for the sidebar from this stage. Fit the terminals at both ends of the sidebar. Then push the sidebar through the hole in the undercarriage as you did with the other side bar, secure the bar with a 3mm M3 grub screw as you did before.
Not that the sidebars are not centred on the body but sit forward of the undercarriage. Do not overtighten the grub screws, so that you can adjust the sidebars later, if necessary.
This completes stage 29. Store any remaining parts in a labelled bag.

Stage 30 - Contains the motor for the front right arm (anti-clockwise).
To start this stage, you will need the anti-clockwise rotor assembled in Stage 28. Remove the rotor from the drive unit.
Assemble the motor unit in the same way that you assembled previous motors, not forgetting to fit the ring and e-clip onto the motor spindle.
Refit the anti-clockwise rotor onto the motor shaft.
This completes Stage 30.Tomick attached the following image(s):

Stage 32 - Contains a clockwise rotor.
With this stage, you receive the rear right rotor. You now have all four rotors for your Sky Rider Drone.
As these components are in pairs (and so interchangeable on opposite arms), you can test the new rotor on the front left arm, (note that one clockwise rotor is awaiting fitment of its silver nut).
To perform the test, find the rotor from Stage 10 and remove the silver M6 nut. Then put the M6 nut into the centre of the rear right rotor. Take the chassis of your Sky Rider Drone and screw the rotor onto the front left motor. Then remove the rotor from the arm and store each pair of rotors in labelled bags (clockwise & anti-clockwise).
This completes the assembly of Pack 7.Tomick attached the following image(s):

Stage 35 - Contains the front right CCW (anti-clockwise) rotor arm, a 20mm locking pin, M5x16mm screw and an M5mm nut.
For this assembly, you will need the hinge from Stage 29, and the right front CCW rotor arm from this stage.
Bring together the arm and the hinge, as shown in the photograph on the right, aligning the holes in both parts. Insert the 20mm locking pin from this stage into the hole in the hinge.
Retrieve the blue LED from Stage 18. Take the end of the wire with the white connector, Feed the wires through the arm. Do not pull too hard or you may damage the wires.
Put the rectangular LED plate into place. The two holes in the plate should align with those in the arm.
Retrieve the arm LED cover and two M2x6mm screws (all provided with Stage 27). Place the arm cover over the LED. Make sure that the holes in the cover correspond with the holes in the LED plate beneath. Put the two M2x6mm screws into the holes in the cover, as shown in the picture. Secure them with the screwdriver from Stage 4. Be careful not to overtighten the screws or you will crack the cover.
Retrieve the front red rotor guard and support (from Stage 25) and the front right motor (from Stage 30). Detach the front red rotor guard from its support. Take care not to use too much force or you may damage the parts.
Take the front right motor and unscrew the rotor anti-clockwise (CCW).
Pass the motor wires through the first triangular opening in the arm, be careful not to kink or pull the wires. Feed the three motor wires through the second opening of the arm, then, carefully pull the wires out through the hinge.
Sandwich the red rotor guard support between the end of the arm and the rotor. The photo in Step 15 shows the correct orientation of the rotor guard support.
Hold the rotor guard support and the motor together, and fasten the four M3x10mm screws from Stage 23 with the 2mm Allen key.
Retrieve the blue LED for the front right motor, the cover and the two M2x12mm screws provided with Stage 27. Take the wire from the motor LED and put the plug into the socket of the wire from the arm LED (assembled in Steps 4-6 of this stage). Push the connectors together firmly. Then place the blue LED in its socket underneath the motor. Position the transparent plastic cover in place over the LED, then fit the two M2x12mm screws in the holes in the cover and tighten them. As always, do not overtighten the screws or you may break the cover.
Retrieve the upper and lower arm covers and the three M2x6mm screws from Stage 23. Take the lower arm cover and fix it in place on the arm. Pay special attention to the electrical wiring and make sure it does not get trapped beneath the cover. Apply pressure on the lower arm cover to snap into place.
Position the top cover on the arm. Use three M2x6mm screws to secure the cover on the arm. To finish this assembly, fix the red cover by tightening the three M2x6mm screws. Do not overtighten them.
This complete's the rear right arm with the motor attached. Store it in a labelled bag until needed.

Stage 36 - Contains a motor LED cover, arm LED cover, red LED for rear motor, M2x6mm screws and M2x12 screws.
For this assembly, you will need the chassis, the front right arm from the previous stage and the M5mm nut from Stage 35. The nut is fitted into the right side of the chassis, as shown. The circular side of the nut faces up, and the hexagonal side goes down into the chassis.
Pass the electrical wire with the white connector into the body of the drone through the arm hinge. Feed the wire through the opening at the base of the hinge. Do this very carefully to avoid damaging the components. Pass the three motor wires into the chassis as shown in Step 4. Take care not to pull or kink the wires.
Push the arm’s hinge in place in the chassis, as shown in the photo. Pay attention to the electrical wires, ensuring that they are not trapped in the hinge, and make sure that the four holes in the hinge align with the corresponding holes in the chassis.
Turn the chassis over and put in place four of the eight M2x12mm screws from Stage 29, tighten the screws using the screwdriver provided, taking care not to overtighten them. Check that the hinge works properly,
then lock the front right arm into the horizontal position.
Take the M5x16mm support screw from Stage 35, and secure it with the 3mm Allen key in the front right arm. Check that the arm is tightly fixed on the chassis.
Now, connect the yellow wire from the front right motor to the corresponding yellow socket of the ESC control unit, as shown in the Step 9 photo. Then, take the red wire from the arm and put it into the corresponding red socket on the ESC, then connect the black wire to the ESC.
This completes this Stage.

Stage 37 - Contains the LED board and LED power connector.
Familiarise yourself with the photo in Step 2 before continuing with the installation and before continuing, carefully make sure that your clear the indicated area on the chassis of any wires.
Fit the LED board in place between its clips. The two clips hold it in place, while the triple wire, which is black, red and blue, passes through a slot in the side of the chassis.
Retrieve the rear chassis plate, which was provided with Stage 33. Put it in place on the back of the main chassis, as shown in the photo, right. You will see where the black-red-blue triple wire emerges from the body. When you have seen that the wire comes out where it should, remove the rear chassis plate and store it for later use.
Take the first LED connector from the rear left arm and fix it in its slot, following the photo and inset of Step 7, along with the diagram in Step 2 for reference.
Now take the LED connector from the front left arm and plug it in, following the photo and inset of Step 8, along with the diagram in Step 2 for reference.
Now, plug in the third LED connector, from the front right arm, following the photo and inset of Step 9, along with the diagram in Step 2 for reference.
This completes this Stage, Carefully store the power connector in a labelled bag for future use.
