I wrote up some of my assembly and initial flight tests, photos too

Things to note:

- I've not seen anybody mention the small A on the propellers indicating anti-clockwise, there's no need to squint at rotor blade curvature
- It's not mentioned in the instructions which way the propellers should be put on, the smooth side should go on the bottom and the etched/nobbly side on top
- Callibrate your 360 controller if its new before testing things out, I havent figured out the controls entirely, but they make a lot more sense once callibrated
- Windows 8 refuses to install the crazyradio driver as it's unsigned, you need to reboot into advanced startup and select disable driver signature enforcement before you can continue

Mine don't have the A. I'm guessing they added that for some of the later orders.

I got my flie May 2nd and I've got an 'A'.

Good catch. I did see that --- Thanks for the pointers. They will help.

My "a" propellors need to go clockwise, weirdly. That was confusing when I was building!

Hi tomjn,

Nice notes and pictures

The reason for not mentioning the A is that it doesn't apply to all of the propellers. Some have it, some don't and some have it in the wrong place I think. I'm not sure if it's been added lately but there's a note in the assembly instructions what side of the propeller goes up/down.

I've started the Windows 8 install instructions for the Crazyradio driver but so far I just have the link to show how to install unsigned drivers.
