In this section, you will install the isolation assembly and electronics in your ELEV-8 v3 Quadcopter, following the 4 steps below.
This section will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your skill level and equipment.
The Isolation System dampens vibrations created by the propellers to improve the performance of the flight controller.
With all the major components of the ELEV-8 v3 installed, the wiring process begins with connecting the ESCs.
WARNING: Reversing the polarity may cause permanent damage to the ESCs and other components. Check your connections carefully!
In this step you will connect the signal cables for the receiver to both the ELEV-8 Flight Controller and the receiver, and then mount the reciever to the chassis.
Instructions are provided for customers using the Spektrum SPMAR620 receiver (Step 19a) or the Spektrum AR610/AR8000 receiver (Step 19b). Please choose the set of instructions that match your receiver model to continue. If you are using a different receiver, your process may vary and you should consult your receiver manual.
Note: If you're using a Spektrum AR610 or AR8000 receiver, please follow instructions in Step 19b.
