MOTOR ARMING
Set the transmitter so the motors are disarmed.
Place the Voltage 3D on a level surface and connect the battery. If the quad
is not level when powered up, it may drift when the sticks are centered.
After the speed controls have chimed twice, pause, and then chime again,
select the desired flight mode and arm the motors if the transmitter is using
throttle hold.
Advance the throttle to just above midstick and wait for the motors to start
spinning. When they speed up and slow down to idle, the Voltage 3D is
ready to fly.
WARNING:
If your transmitter is set up to use the same switch for disarming
the motors and selecting the flight mode, be careful when switching from
Stability Mode to 3D Mode while in flight. If the switch is moved to the
motor disable position, the motors will stop.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Motors will not arm
Make sure that the throttle trim is centered and the throttle is at or just above
midstick.
Check the throttle curve for offset. The throttle should be at 0 when the stick
is centered.
Motors spin but the quadcopter will not take off
If parts have been replaced, check the motor
wires on each ESC. The color of the wire
should match the colors on the socket for
the front right and rear left ESC.
On the front left and rear right ESC, the
colors on two of the wires will not match
the sockets.
Make sure that the props are installed correctly and the motors are spinning
in the correct direction. Please refer to the diagram in the Prop Install section.
