5Plug the wires into the respective
sockets on your receiver noting
that the single-pin connectors
should be attached to the ‘signal’
pin, usually reserved for the
yellow, orange or white wire.
6Secure your receiver to the upper
frame using hook and loop tape
and secure the aerial(s).
7Note that only end pin receivers
can be secured to the upper
frame due to the proximity of the
body.
8Install the downlink antenna
noting that the Crossre should
never be powered ON without the
antenna connected as this can
damage the video transmitter
circuitry.

Before ying your Crossre you’ll need to congure and tune the on-board
ight controller using Cleanight open-source software. This software can be
sourced via Google Chrome using the following method:
1. Open Google Chrome
2. Enter ‘Apps’ (icon in top left corner)
3. Enter ‘Web Store’
4. Enter ‘Cleanight’ into the search box
5. Download ‘Cleanight Congurator’ software
10 Connect the Crossre’s ight
control board to your computer
via the board’s micro USB socket
and use the Cleanight software
to congure your quad. Use the
Cleanight Documentation &
Support section for guidance.
11 Disconnect the quad from your
computer, insert the fully charged
3s 2200mAh Li-Po and secure it
with the hook and loop strap. As
the LiPo is installed from under the
Crossre, the body does not need
to be removed.

12 With the propellers still removed,
switch your transmitter ON and
connect the Crossre’s battery.
A series of beeps will be heard
conrming that the quad is ready
to arm. Place the Crossre on
a level surface and arm the
motors by moving the throttle
stick to the bottom right corner of the gimbal (the default position for Mode 2
transmitters) and holding for three seconds.
13 Check the rotation direction of the
motors by gently increasing the
throttle and viewing from above.
14 Having conrmed that all works
as it should and that the motors
rotate correctly, disconnect the
battery and switch OFF your
transmitter. Identify the propellers
noting that two of the four have
a right-hand rotation (denoted
by the letter R alongside the
dimension embossed on the
root section of the blade). R
designated propellers should be
installed on motors A and C and tted with a black (left-hand thread) prop nut.
The remaining left-hand rotation propellers should be secured to motors B
and D.
Install the propellers using a
suitable 10mm wrench or socket
using adequate, but not excessive,
force to safely tighten the nuts.
Remember that the black prop
nuts are left hand thread and
tighten counter clockwise.
