These settings were 

tested with 3S and 

4S batteries.

TIP:

 While removing the USB cable from the flight controller, push down on 

the controller to keep it from moving. If any of the o-rings on the mounting 
posts are lost, the controller may come loose in flight.

FAILSAFE

If your transmitter can set values for all the channels for failsafe, set channels 

1-4 to a midstick value and set channel 5 to -100% which will stop the motors.

For transmitters that only set the failsafe on the throttle channel, set the throttle 
to 50%. (midstick)

Be sure to remove the props before testing the failsafe operation.

BATTERIES

The Voltage 3D can use a 3 cell or 4 cell LiPo between 2200 mAh and 4000 mAh. 
The flight time can be as long as 12 minutes with a large battery and a very 

mild flying style. The flight controller does not have a low voltage cutoff to 
protect the LiPo from damage. The LEDs on the bottom of the speed controls 

will start flashing when the battery is at 10.2 V for a 3S battery and 13.6V for 

a 4S LiPo. For your first flight, set a timer for 3 minutes. If the LEDs are not 

flashing at the end of the flight, increase your flight time a few seconds. If the 
LEDs  on  the  speed  controls  are  flashing at the end of the flight, the timer 

setting should be reduced by at least 10 seconds to protect the battery.

WARNING:

 

Your battery life will be shortened and the 

battery can be damaged any time the voltage drops below 
3.25 V/cell. Charging a LiPo battery that is damaged in 
any way can pose a fire hazard.

We recommend using a voltage monitor/alarm that plugs into the battery’s 

balance connector and will sound an alarm when the battery voltage gets low.

PROP INSTALLATION

There are 2 “A” props, one of each 

color. These props spin CCW.

There are 2 “B” props, one of each 

color. These props spin CW.

A little thread locking compound 

should  be  used  on  the  screws 

that hold the props on the motor.
