first flight
1) Never run Mobula8 on USB for a long time; limit to a few minutes for configuration. 2) Always remove propellers before powering via USB. 3) For extended testing or Betaflight tuning, use a small 1S LiPo instead of USB — it provides proper current. 4) If the board feels hot to touch (>50°C), unplug immediately and let it cool. 5) Do not attempt to fly while USB is plugged in. 6) Configure and test sticks, switches, and modes in Betaflight quickly, then disconnect USB.
Ensure Motor Stop mode is OFF (so motors spin when armed).
Modes Tab → check flight modes assigned (Angle / Horizon / Acro).
Configuration → Minimum Command / Motor Idle. - Set to ~5–10% (~1050–1100 in Betaflight).
