How to add a radio controller 

Step by step instructions to add your own radio controller framework: 

• The included Naze32 flight controller comes pre-streaked with the most recent rendition of Baseflight. You can download the product here. 

• The CC3D flight controller accompanies a multi-link that you should embed into your RC RX. Utilize these link tones from the CC3D and supplement them into your RX like so: 

• Dark/Red/White Cable: Aileron 
• Blue: Elevator 
• Yellow: Throttle 
• Green: Rudder 
• Orange: a 3 position flight mode switch. The CC3D is modified for 1.) Rate, 2.) Weak Level Mode, 3.) Attitude Mode 
• Purple: Not utilized

The CC3D board has effectively been pre-customized for you and test flown, so the entirety of the tuning is now accomplished for you. Don’t re-streak the board with new programming without first support up the settings or you will lose the pre-modified settings. 

At the point when you get the RTF all, you need to do it introduce your radio beneficiary into the QAV250 (try to tie your collector to your radio), and afterward, plug in the CC3D board to your PC whenever you’ve downloaded and introduced the GCS programming. (Continuously ensure you eliminate all propellers when programming) Do not run the “Vehicle Setup Wizard” which will have you reflash the board and wipe every one of the settings we as of now have accomplished for you. 

Rather go to the “Setup” tab on the base, then, at that point to the “Info” tab on the upper left. In this menu, you’ll see a choice to run the “Start Configuration Wizard” which will walk you through the means to arrange your radio with the CC3D board. Complete this wizard and whenever you’re done you can set your “Outfitting Settings”. Flight modes have effectively been pre-designed, yet you can change those in the event that you like. Presently you’re completely done!

Does this version has replaceable arms? think yes, since the g10 frame? and if I buy the RTF kit, do I only need goggles for the FPV flight?

I wouldn’t worry too much about breaking an arm. They are very strong. You will need to buy a mini camera, video transmitter, and goggle or monitor with the built-in receiver to fly FPV.

If you’re interested, you can buy the drone from Amazon or GetFPV.
