Motor Connection

Figures below show motor position and rotation:

In the above figure, the front of red arrow points to the head of the multirotor. The arrows in the small circles point

to the direction of motor rotation. Motor numbers are marked inside the circles and S1 stands for servo. Purple

motors are top, and blue circle are bottom.

Note: Configurations with more than 6 motors require CPPM receiver.

Aircraft assembly

Please install flight controller and ESC on your aircraft. Please refer to the instructions above for proper connection

of the SKYLINE32 to the ESC’s and receiver. Anti shock, anti-vibration mounting is recommended, preferably with

soft double-sided adhesive to increase the damping effect. Avoid vibration of gyro, to increase flight stability.

SKYLINE32

Check to see the proper bar moves when your RC transmitter stick is moved. If the wrong bar moves,

select a different option in the “Channel Mapping”drop down box. Once you have the controls selected

properly, make sure they move in the proper direction. Throttle at the bottom should indicate 1000,

and throttle max should be 2000. When the rudder stick is left, the scale should show 1000. If these

are reversed, reverse the channel in your radio and check again. Also check the range. When the

control sticks on your transmitter are moved, they should go from 1000-2000. If there are within

10 that is okay, anything more then that you will need to adjust your endpoints on your radio.

Also on the receiver tab is Pitch, Roll, and Yaw Rate. These set how responsive the ship is. For

a very tame ship set at .25 for all three. For more aggressive try pitch and roll at .56 and yaw

at .36. Test fly and then adjust according to your preference.

Now, the basic set of flight control has been completed, you can fly now.
