cool!
i'm attempting a similar sort of build! BUT i'm a real newb. i have a question regarding connecting esc to my fc if you can help?
i've gone for dji snail propulsion with a streakf4 FC from unmannedtechshop.co.uk
I'm struggling to decide what to do with my signal cable. do i just tie off the ground and solder the white signal cable direct to my FC? it looks that way with this board but i'm just a little unsure because the esc signal cable has the connector on the end
cool. The only issue i'm having right now is probably another newbie mistake! my fc has a white arrow on it...is this 'forward' ?
I'm asking so i connect the esc signal cable to the correct port. That diagram has the little white arrow pointing upwards and ESC3 is my front right motor? and therefore motor 1 is 'front left'?
thank you so much for the help, it's pretty hard getting started but i can't wait to get up in the air!
That is the intended forward for the FC but if it makes the layout easier for you, you can position it any way you want and just set the forward position in betaflight.
aw man! thank you so much! there are a million youtube guides and step by step how-to videos, but to actually ask someone has been the most help i've had!

If Im looking at the right board, it has a PDB built in so you will have to solder all 3 esc wires to it. Here is a diagram that I found which should help you https://cdn6.bigcommerce.com/s-xkoep7/products/1215/images/6436/F4_V3-connection__30792.1485536947.1280.1280.jpg?c=2

No the back right motor is #1. Here is a diagram showing their positions and rotation. https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpropwashed.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F03%2F11-MotorsDirectionAndNumbers.png&f=1

No problem. Good luck and happy flying!!
