I just turned n an order for the 3DR X8 quad, Can anythings about this aircraft> Does it require any config/setup on arrival? I ordered it with the Spektrum Rx/Tx. I have a number iof DJI products and on arrival they required advanced IMU and the DJI Dance; compass calibration. Is he X8 similar?
Doe it come with the radio marked to show which switches perform what function or must I experiment to find out? Is there any included documentation the comes specific to the X8 or must I extrapolate from APM manuals?
Thanks to those who can help!

Bob, we are willing to help with your questions. I am assuming you purchased an RTF X8. If so, it will come ready to fly except for a few items. You will need to install the props, unfold and secure the landing gear, and give the copter a good once or twice over to make sure everything looks right after shipping. It wouldn't hurt to have a look through the configuration with mission planner before your first flight to get familiar with everything. It can be more involved than a DJI setup, but this system is vastly more capable. Keep in mind that all of our RTF copters are test flown before they leave the factory.
