Motors spinning the right way?

Help
1

This is the dumbest newbie question I’ve asked so far.
How can i check if my motors are spinning the right way?
I have tried this through beta flight and from my receiver BUT, the motors spin too damn fast! i’ve even tried filming it in slo-mo. please don’t laugh

I have just tried a quick over test and i got no takeoff!
back to the drawing board

I dangle a thin piece of paper on the side/top of the motor and see which way it leans
Works for me :grinning:

erm, that’s actually a real common sense approach! I’m slightly embarrassed that i didn’t think of that! trying too hard to be technical i think!
thank you

Thank you! it seems all my motors are spinning CW!!

Hi
BLHeli suite is software that will allow you to reverse direction without having to change any wires over
It used to be done with a USB adapter onto the servo style connector but now modern FC boards will connect to the ESC for you
Have a look at YouTube for your particular combination

PS BLHeli Suite is now a Chrome App I used it a couple of nights ago for DYS -S ESC’s on a Seriously Pro Racing F3 board it worked great
