    towards right bottom direction until the red light stops blinking.  Now, your Quadcopter is ready to Fly. Troubleshooting  Soldering You should be sure that all your solder joints have the liquid silver look and are reliable. Bad solder joints may cause the FC, RX, ESC or Motor to lose power, prevent the signal from the fc to reach to the ESC or sbus signal from the RX reaching the FC.
  • Page 27 Check for proper connection between the ESC signal wires and the flight controller by following the flight controller motor order. When using 4in1 ESC double-check the wire order on the JSD- SH connectors, not all ESC/fc combinations have the same motor order.
