Fusion se and flysky fs-g7p setup newbie

[Mike4xdriver]

Let's just start with, I have a remedial understanding of these electronics and setting them up even after watching a couple videos. It's intimidating so I'm reluctant to wing it. Any warnings, things I need to NOT do or things I need to do in a specific order?
I've got everything installed and just kinda scared to hook a battery to it and turn it on and fry something.

The fusion is a breeze. No worries neccessary., pretty much plug and play, then step back and be amazed at the difference in control you have.

When turning on the system for the first time what should I expect? Since nothing is setup, is stuff going to just go to random points and motor start running till I get the transmitter setup?

Should just behave normally. No surprises.

DO NOT TOUCH THAT BUTTON!!

Kidding.

I always start by binding the receiver and transmitter with only the steering servo connected to the receiver... I use an external battery pack plugged into channel 2 (4AA = 6V, safe for most all receivers). That lets me verify they are talking without worry about a runaway.

Once they are bound, turn everything off, and connect the ESC. Power on the radio first and then and go thru the setup procedure with your ESC.

Good luck

1. Remove servo horn.

2. Bind the Rx to the Tx if it isn't already.

3. This video shows the throttle calibration and how to reverse motor direction if it runs backwards. Make sure your throttle trim is at zero before you turn on your radio. Never move that on an electric RC.

4. Set your steering trim to zero in your Tx and install your steering horn, trying to keep your wheels pointing as straight as possible by rotating the horn before sliding onto the servo gear. Do not turn your steering wheel on your Tx until next step is complete.

5. Go to your endpoint adjustment for channel one and lower the setting for both left and right to about 50%. Then, turn your steering wheel full right and hold it there. While holding, adjust the endpoint back up slowly, just to the point where your wheels stop turning farther right. You're looking for the point where the mechanical components stop your steering from turning farther, and you should notice your steering link connecting the servo horn to the spindle is somewhat bound up. Once you reach that point, back your endpoint off until you feel the steering link has play in it again. That is your right steering endpoint adjusted correctly. Simply repeat for steering left.
