Well see thats what i told you roby when you called me,learn how everything that you have works
And only then try to operate it

removed them,, programming done, not able to calibrate esc's with kk 2.1... any experience with that one?

maybe cuz i'm not very familiar with jingling sounds...

have seen a million videos and threads  now its getting really frustrating

i'm sooo sad 

Ok, explain about the issue that you are having.

i'm not able to arm it, can u give me a skype help?

motor directions are fine.. when i'm pressing 1&4 and giving throttle it spins... now how can i make it plug and play? i cannot  hold 1&4 while flying the quad  ... in short how to arm it?

when i'm putting the low throttle to right.. nothing happens

is this because my safe leveling is off? if so how to make that thing on?? i'm not using aux..is this the reason??

Well, let's go step by step.

The process of pressing Button #1 and #4 is called ESC Calibration and not arming the board.
In ESC Calibration you basically are educating the ESC about the throttle range of your transmitter.
This communication goes via the FCB, hence you need to press the buttons on the FCB.
You need to do the ESC Calibration only once.

You need to press these 2 buttons and then connect the LiPo to the quad.
Please follow steps as per this video and let us know the outcome.


After this step, all 4 motors would start spinning at the same time as you give throttle.

We'll cover arming the board later on.

this thing i've done a hundred times... tu tu tu... then 2 beeps..i'm putting throttle at 0,, 3 beeps...doing nothing...1 beep...leaving the 1 and 4 buttons...after this trying to arm it by moving right rudder...no signs of arming

Ok, then it seems that you have already completed ESC Calibration.
It's confusing because you've mentioned before 'when i'm pressing 1&4 and giving throttle it spins'

Moving on...
For arming the board, instead of moving the rudder to right, try moving rudder to left and let us know if the board gets armed now.
If you have installed the buzzer as well then you should hear a beep as well when the board arms.

I hope you have kept the props off.

oh wow it is armed....i love you dude...ur a genious thanks a lot

but this is not done....we were supposed to make it go right.. but thats for disarming lol..
well shall i put the props on?? any more advice before i fly??

the side in which 9X4.5 is written should face up right? but in this case i saw that two opposite props are throwing air upwards,,, how will they work??

You're welcome.

Yep, just use the reverse. Left for arming and Right for disarming.
Do a Jerk test first (Very Important) to ascertain if the gyros are working in the correct direction or not.


Put on the props only when you are satisfied with the Jerk Test.
Then take out the quad outside and try the first spool up.
Stay atleast 5 meters away from the quad while first spool up.

If the gyros are reversed, the quad becomes crazy and flips at full speed in fraction of a second which is highly dangerous.

The text on the pops will always face upwards. Please watch the above video which will clear out the doubt if any of the motors is spinning in the wrong direction.
To reverse the direction, all you have to do is to switch 2 leads of that motor.

roby! if your doing down left instead of down right, reverse the rudder channel on your Tx...

some motors too fast...rest slow... it lifts one particular side... solution pls???

Remove props.
Give very little throttle and check if all motors start spooling up at the same time or not.

checked that previously... they spool at the same time but with different speeds

Please check again.
Also, have you gone through the video of the Jerk Test above?

Please provide some closeup images of the FCB showing connections, motors, props and the quad as a whole.

i know its messed up

its stalling even before it can take off

Forget about the FCB connections, i am not even able to make out the direction in which the FCB is mounted
Since the whole quad is too cluttered, i would recommend that you do meet some local expert who can check the quad for the possible cause of issue.

Is the quad levelled while stalling?
If yes, try with a 10X4.5 props the weight of your quad might be too much for a 1000kv 9X4.7 prop setup.

BTW, What's the current AUW?

9X4.5 actually
