11. Connect the drone's positive wire (the one connected to the red/white motor wires) to the battery pack's red
wire. Connect the drone's negative wire (the one connected to the blue/black motor wires) to the battery
pack's black wire. Cover the connections with electrical tape.
12. Make sure the battery pack is off, and insert the batteries.
13. Get ready to test your drone! Turn the battery pack on, and your drone should rise up into the air. Quickly
turn the battery pack off before it crashes.
14. Build a support for the wooden dowel, which will act as a guide pole for your drone. For example, you can
drill a hole in a block of wood, or duct tape the dowel to something sturdy. You could also get a volunteer
to hold the dowel. Make sure the dowel fits through the vertical straw on your drone. Alternatively, instead
of a dowel, you can use a piece of string. Tape the string to the top of a door frame and pull it tight from the
bottom.
15. Thread the drone onto the dowel (or string) through the straw mounted on the frame, then test it again. Your
drone should now fly vertically. Turn it off before it flies off the top of the dowel.
