Building the quadcopter the first step of building the quadcopter is building the frame, just follow the instractions you got with the frame and build all the chassis. The quadcopter includes 4 motors, 2 CW motors and 2 CCW motors, the motors installation order: front left arm - CW motor front right arm - CCW motor rear left arm - CCW motor rear right motor - CW motor when you install the motors, point the wires to the arm of the chassis. the ESC has 5 wires and a plug, the 3 black wires needs to be connected to the motors. for CW rotation you need to connect the wires straight from the esc to the motor (first ESC wire to first motor wire, second wire to second wire, third wire to third wire). for the CCW rotation you just need to switch between the second to the third wire. (first ESC wire to first motor wire, second wire to third wire, third wire to second wire) connect and solder all the ESC red wires together to the T-plug red wire, and the black wires to the black one. after you make all the connections with solder, you can connect the flight controller. connect the ESC to the cc3d in this order connect the motor output 1 to the front left ESC connect the motor output 2 to the front right ESC connect the motor output 3 to the rear left ESC connect the motor output 4 to the rear right ESC Connect the 2.4Ghz reciever to the CC3D flight controller, just plug the connections from the reciever output to the cc3d inputs, (channel 1 to input 1, channel 2 to input 2, etc..) you need to connect at least 6 channels. This is all the wiring you neet to make for the quadcopter, when you finish the wiring you need to update the cc3d firmware and make a calibration. the CC3D flight controller works with the exelent opensource openpilot program. download the software and install it to your pc, follow the instructions in the open pilot UI and make the installation.
