Welcome to your new quad.

Everything you need to get your WREKD Built & Tuned FPV in the air โ€” binding, video link, and pre-flight in about 10 minutes.

Step 01

01.Props-Out

WREKD always installs propellers Props-Out. The raised leading edge of each blade points outward, away from the center. This is how your quad is tuned โ€” running Props-In will fly poorly.

Safety First Never spin motors with props attached unless the quad is secured. Always remove props when configuring or troubleshooting on the bench.
Step 02 โ€” Receiver

02.Bind Your ExpressLRS Radio

Your quad ships with a RadioMaster RP1 receiver running ExpressLRS 3.5.x. Modern ELRS uses a power-cycle bind โ€” no buttons to press.

1
Power-cycle the quad 3 times โ€” fast

Plug the battery in just far enough to make the drone beep / power up, then unplug. Do this three quick times. On the 3rd insertion, leave it plugged all the way in.

2
Watch the receiver LED

The ELRS RX in the back of the drone should now blink in a double-pulse pattern (two blinks, pause, two blinksโ€ฆ). That means it's in bind mode.

3
Open the ExpressLRS Lua script on your radio

Usually: press the SYS button โ†’ select ExpressLRS.

4
Scroll down to "Bind" and press it

You should hear your radio announce "Telemetry recovered." Your quad is now bound.

Didn't hear "Telemetry recovered"? The two most common causes:
  • Model Match is on with the wrong Model ID โ€” check your radio model settings.
  • Your radio / module ELRS version doesn't match the receiver. This quad ships with ELRS 3.5.x โ€” stick close to that version.
Version Tip Major-version mismatches (3.x โ†” 4.x) won't bind. Minor versions within the same major usually do.
Optional

03.Flash ELRS Over Wi-Fi

Only do this if your radio/module is on a different ELRS version. Wi-Fi flash is the cleanest path โ€” no USB needed.

1. Get a firmware.bin

Use either:

  • ExpressLRS Configurator โ€” build a custom firmware.bin for the RadioMaster RP1 2.4GHz target.
  • Direct download โ€” grab a pre-built firmware.bin for that version from a trusted source.

2. Wi-Fi Flash Procedure

1
Power the quad on a battery and wait ~60 seconds

The Hobbywing FC needs battery power to keep the RX alive โ€” USB alone is not enough. After ~1 minute with no radio link, the RX drops into Wi-Fi mode: the red LED begins flashing extremely fast and continuously.

2
Connect to the RX's Wi-Fi network

On your phone or laptop, join the SSID that starts with ExpressLRS. Default password is usually expresslrs.

3
Open the ExpressLRS configuration page

Most devices pop it up automatically. If not, browse to http://10.0.0.1/.

4
Upload your firmware.bin on the "Update" tab

Wait for upload + reboot. Repeat the bind procedure from Step 02.

Don't unplug mid-flash A failed Wi-Fi flash can soft-brick the receiver. Use a fresh battery and keep your device close to the quad.
Step 03 โ€” Video

04.Bind DJI O4 Pro Air Unit

Your quad uses the DJI O4 Pro Air Unit. You'll need to bind it to your DJI Goggles (Goggles 3, Goggles 2, Integra, etc.) before you can see video.

1
Power on your goggles & enter bind mode

Hold the goggles' Power button for about 5 seconds until you hear continuous beeping. The goggles are now searching for an air unit.

2
Plug a battery into the quad

Give the air unit a few seconds to boot.

3
Press the BIND button on the O4 Pro air unit

It's a tiny recessed button on the air unit board โ€” use a pin or straightened paperclip to gently press it. Do not force it.

4
Listen for the confirmation beep on your goggles

Once you hear it, video should appear and binding is complete.

Final Step

05.Pre-Flight Checklist

Run through this every time before powering on for flight.
