HobbyKing KK2 Checklist - Pre KK2 Setup (Part 1)

This is one part of a multi-video series where go through a checklist for setting up a HobbyKing KK2 on a multi-rotor. I found that was a lot of information out there from the KK2 RCgroups thread, but it's not consolidated and takes a while to get through hundreds of pages of posts. I wanted to put together a checklist that covers everything you need to do to get your multi-rotor ready with the KK2. For you guys that aren't familiar with the KK2, it's one awesome controller board. It's got gyros and accelerometers built in for stability control, a nice LCD screen you can use to setup all the options onboard and it supports firmware flashing so you get all the latest upgrades.
