Configuration and tuning
The COLIBRI RACE runs Cleanflight by default. Cleanflight comes with a great and easy to use Chrome
Application that you can download here:
•
CleanFlight Configurator
There are several very detailed CleanFlight guides available, which teaches you how to tune, configure and
calibrate your model (see FliteTest and Oscar Liang’s guides below). It would be impractical for this manual to
regurgitate all of this. However, please do ensure that the parameter values specified in the following section
are set in the configurator for proper control of the ESCs and aircraft.

Default Values
The ideal parameter values for COLIBRI with the BULLETPROOF 20A ESCs are shown in the following screen
capture. Open CleanFlight and make sure all the fields are set to the corresponding values. The ESCs come
pre-calibrated out of the box, there is no need to calibrate the servo range or do any other setup on the ESCs.
Additionally, if you are planning to install LEDs on your frame, you can enable “LED Strip” support in
CleanFlight. It allows you to directly connecting WS2812B, WS2812, and WS2811 based RGB LEDs to the
COLIBRI RACE flight control and configure their color.
