Drilling holes in F550 bottom board- will it hurt the circuits?

[irvan36mm]

I am planning to drill 8 small holes into the bottom plate of my F550 in order to
mount a landing skid set from an Align heli (not sure of model #) using nylon zip ties.
Will it hurt the circuit traces in the board if I drilled it?

there is positive running through the top and negative running through the bottom. biggest thing to do is make sure none of the copper from the top makes contact with the bottom. i use a file or knife to clear the holes. it is pretty hard to drill through

Hmmm,I didn't know about the positive circuits on top of the board/negatives on the lower with
everything being separated by the board material.
I would be my luck having the skids ripped away in a crash & the holes being damaged and
possibly shorting the circuit with the zip ties.

I'll have to stick w/ the skids mounted w/ Velcro to the bottom of the F550.

Iv drilled and mounted many gimbals to Flamewheels. Just drill the holes and clean off 5mm of copper around them. It should then be fine.

... and make sure to use nylon screws

or just dont drill it or build out a lower platform using another top plate. or use a clone dji frame that doesnt have the integrated pcb.
