In this chapter, we went through the Mission Planner software, which is free, very powerful, and easy to use for ArduPilot flight controllers. Unfortunately, not every flight controller has its own software and is obviously not compatible with Mission Planner. So, in case you have chosen another flight controller, you have to find out another way of doing everything we discussed. It should be clear that anything you buy must be calibrated and configured according to your setup. After going through the setup procedure, you will be able to arm and have a stable quadcopter.

In the following chapter, there will be instructions about your first flight and where and how you can fly safely without risk of damaging your quadcopter.
