# Safety
|
|
|
|
As many can attest, multirotors and RC models in general can be very dangerous, particularly on the test bench. Here are some simple golden rules to save you a trip to the local ER:
|
|
* **NEVER** arm your model with propellers fitted unless you intend to fly!
|
|
* **Always** remove your propellers if you are setting up for the first time, flashing firmware, or if in any doubt.
|
|
|
|
## Before installing the Flight Controller in your craft
|
|
|
|
Please consult the [Cli](Cli.md), [Controls](Controls.md), [Failsafe](Failsafe.md) and [Modes](Modes.md) documentation
|
|
pages for further important information.
|
|
|
|
You are highly advised to use the Receiver tab in CleanFlight Configurator, making sure your Rx channel values are centered at 1500 (1520 for Futaba RC) and Min/Max values are reached when controls are operated.
|
|
The referenced values for each channel, have marked impact on the operation of Flight Controller and its Flight Modes.
|
|
|
|
You may have to adjust your channel endpoints and trims/sub-trims, on your RC transmitter, to achieve the expected values.

## Feature MOTOR_STOP
|
|
The default Cleanflight configuration has the MOTOR_STOP feature DISABLED by default. What this means is that as soon as the controller is armed, the propellers *WILL* begin spinning at low speed. It is recommended that this setting be retained as it provides a good visual indication that the craft is armed. You can read more about arming and setting the MOTOR_STOP feature if desired in the relevant sections of the manual.
