It makes for good practice to carry a multi meter with you when flying checking the voltage of the battery prior to flying saves the risk of installing a dead battery from a earlier fight It can happen and having your bird fall out of the sky because of a simple mistake is frustrating to say the least Steps to powering up Multi rotor Ensure that all switches on the Radio Controller are in the correct positions and that GPS mode is selected Turn on transmitter Devo8s Futaba ensure throttle stick is at the bottom of its travel Tx will alarm otherwise and will not bind to receiver Plug LiPo battery into the power terminal on your multi rotor ensuring that the power cable is attached below the arm so as to avoid the cord interfering with the propellers Step 4 Binding amp Identify Flight Mode Step 5 J Start up amp take off Ensure that the transmitter has bound with the RC receiver there should be a solid light on the RC Receiver Red light for Devo8S amp Green light for Futaba If the light is blinking repeat step 3 by turning the power on amp off Ensure that the Transmitter is in GPS Attitude mode never use Manual mode Refer to LED description chart Check that all connections are correct and that the LED for the Flight Controller is blinking Green GPS ATT or Yellow Attitude mode If blinking only RED this means you are in Manual mode or Low Voltage warning Once the multi rotor has war
