Before testing your setup, remove the props from the motors. Turn on the
transmitter and connect the battery to the Voltage 500 3D. Use the LED codes
on the Flight Controller to verify that Gear switch can select the Motor Disarm
mode and the two flight modes.
Next, arm the motors by selecting one of the flight modes and advance the
throttle so it is at or just above midstick. When the motors start to spin, hold
the throttle until the motors speed up and slow down to idle. Now advance
the throttle to speed up the motors and move the right stick in any direction.
The motors on the opposite side of the quad will speed up so they can tilt the
quadcopter in the desired direction. When you have made sure that the quad
is responding to the controls correctly, move the Gear switch back to the
Disarm position to stop the motors.
NOTE:
If your transmitter has a Throttle Hold Gyro setting in the heli mode,
setting the gyro to -100% on channel 5 will allow the throttle hold switch to
disarm the motors. Setting the Idle-up and normal mode gyros to 0 and +100%
on channel 5 will allow the idle-up switch to be used to the select the 3D or
Stability flight modes. Using the separate switch to arm and disarm the motors
eliminates the possibility of shutting off the motors while changing flight modes.
