Painfully obvious question about drilling holes for booms

[onelesseye]

I am about to place an order for the Electro Hub in a day or two. I have watched the build video several times and nowhere do they mention the size drill bit used for the holes for mounting the booms. I am new at building multi rotors, and I am also (somewhat) new at using power tools on a regular basis. I have all of the needed tools, I just don't know which drill bit to use for the mounting holes for the booms. Any help would be great. Otherwise, I am down to just drilling holes in something until I find a hole the right size. Trying to save some trees here.

I am not sure if it is the same for the electrohub, most likely it is.

When you get the kit, match your bit size to your fastener size.

Mr Stamp, that video was for the knuckle h quad from a long time ago, way before the electro hub came out. Thanks though.

The ElectroHub and the older Anycopter Hub have 3mm holes, for M3 screws - at least that's what I'm using .

It is mentioned on the old Anycopter plans too: http://www.stonekap.net/ftplans/AnyCopter-PLANS0026.pdf
