Ensure that each arm is attached to
the plate with the top and bottom
motors in correct orientation. An
easy way to tell which side of the
arm is the top is to look at the 25 mm
bolts in the motor assembly; the
bottom side of the arm has nuts
securing the bolts.
3 Label motors
Use tape (or other method) to label
the motors by the numbers shown
here. (The number above the line
corresponds to the top motor; the
number below the line refers to the
bottom motor.)
4 Connect ESC and motor cables
Connect the motor cables to the
corresponding ESC cables according
to the labelled numbers (connect
motor 1 to ESC 1, motor 2 to ESC 2,
etc). The order of the three cables
determines which direction the
motors will spin and is critical for the
copter to fly correctly. Connect the
cables by color in the order shown
here.

It may be helpful to secure each arm
in place temporarily with a metal nut.
This image shows the correct wiring
for each ESC and motor. The motor
cables are differentiated by color. To
differentiate the ESC cables, orient
the ESC with the label facing up, and
use the relation of the cables to the
label.
