The diagram below shows the correct rotation direction for each motor. Before attaching pro-
pellers, test the motors to ensure the motor rotation is correct.

The rotation direction for each motor is determined
by the connections between the motor and the ESC.
To reverse the rotation direction for a motor, switch
two of the three wires connecting the motor and
the ESC.
Your copter includes normal propellers (unmarked
or marked "SF") and pusher propellers (marked
"SFP" or "P"). Add pusher propellers to motors
marked clockwise, add normal propellers to motors
marked counterclockwise. Use 10-inch props for
top motors and 11-inch props for bottom motors.
Remove plastic rings from propeller package, select
the one with the larger internal diameter, and insert it
into the back of the propeller hub.
Add propeller to motor collet with writing
facing up in relation to the sky. This means
you'll need to attach props to bottom motors
upside down! Add the washer and prop nut above
the propeller; tightly fasten prop nut to threaded collet.
