ESC Throttle Calibration

Two of the remaining tasks that are left can be easily done on the ground and are relatively quick and simple to perform.  These are ESC throttle calibration and range testing the transmitter.  In this post I'll go over ESC calibration.  Make sure to REMOVE the propellers before doing this!

ESC Throttle Calibration
Calibrating the throttle is simple enough - all you'll need to do is the following:

1. Turn on the transmitter and power up the control board - do not arm the receiver!
2. Move the throttle all the way up, and wait a few seconds.  You should hear the ESCs beep.
3. After a few more seconds move the throttle to minimum.  You'll hear another beep.
4. That's all!
5. Unplug the battery and turn off the transmitter.

Now you'll want to test what you've just done. To do this you'll follow the normal start up procedures:

1. Turn on transmitter and select correct model
2. Plug in the battery
3. Arm the receiver by moving both sticks down and to the right.
4. Move the throttle stick up - by the time it is a quarter of the way up all four motors should be spinning

That's all there is to it!
