Attach the propellers (see drawings below for mapping). :!: You got two **different** packs of them with your kit, one with five clockwise and one with five counter-clockwise ones, take care to really use propellers from both packages, not just mounting two of them upside down, your drone won't fly otherwise :!:.

- | 11. Before you power it on **visually inspect your soldering for shorts**. Make sure any copper from the wires are not sticking out so they could short to **either of the two resistors next to M3 or to anything else**. After that power on and check that all motors spin during start-up and in the correct direction. | + | 11. Before you power it on **visually inspect your soldering for shorts**. Make sure any copper from the wires are not sticking out so they could short to **either of the two resistors next to M3 or to anything else**. You can also use a ohmmeter to check for a resistance of about 2 ohms between each pair of pads. After that power on (carefully push in the button with your fingernail - it is **not** a slide switch) |
