6. Lift the screw out and set it aside.
7. Lift the rotor blade out.
8. Be sure to place the rotor blades properly for stable flight. With the quadrocopter facing you, the front rotor blades should be red with blade A on the right and B on the left. The rear rotor blades should be blue with blade B on the right and A on the left.
