3. Do not over load the multi-rotor.
4. Check that the propellers and the motors are installed correctly and firmly before flight.

rotating it in this direction.
ESC and Motor Wiring Description

1. Please solder each ESC to the power pads on the bottom board as shown in the figure
below. Make sure that the solder is firmly attached on the power pads and that there is no
possibility for a short circuit. The power cable is a coaxial power cable. Do not damage the
protector on the red cable to avoid short circuit. The red core of the coaxial power cable
is positive, and the shielding layer of the coaxial power cable is negative. Make sure to
solder them correctly at the proper length (the wires should be just long enough to reach
the soldering point, face outwards, and should not be bunched up in front of the soldering
point).
2. Connect the signal cable to your controller. The orange wire of the signal cable is for the
control signal; the brown wire of the signal cable is for the GND.
3. Connect the motor to the ESC. Test the motor and make sure the rotation direction of each
motor is correct. If not, switch the position of any two cables that are connecting the motor
to the ESC to change the rotation direction.

Please solder ESCs to power pads on bottom board as the figure shows.
Use any insulating method at all soldering spots. Make sure there is no short or
open circuit.
Make sure the side of power pads is upward.
Assembly
1. Install the bottom board. Note to install the screws by appropriate force to prevent
breaking threads. Use adequate screw glue for installing screws.
2. Install your flight control system and electronic system.
3. Install ESCs and motors. Make sure the rotation direction of each motor is the same as the
way in the figure shows. If not, switch any of two wire connections of the incorrect motor to
change its rotation direction.
4. Tidy all cables. Make sure all cables are not be cut by the frame boards and propellers.
Smooth out the boards edge if necessary.
5. Install the top board.
6. Install the propellers. Please install the propellers after the flight control system
configuration procedure. Make sure the rotation direction of propellers are the same as the
figure shows. Tighten the propeller by rotating it in lock direction. Do not use any thread
lock.
