Is the manual wrong?

Looks nice. Is that electrical tape or heat shrinking around the arms? Looks good either way.

It's electrical tape, seems to work better than tie wraps

What power board do you have in there?

My sp evo fc came with a sp pdb, it has pins that lign up with the fc. I had to turn it 90 deg. so the fc wasn't in the way of the standoffs so motor 1's solder pads are near motor 4 and etc.

So I'm beginning to suspect my power unit might be at fault here. But with the DODO I won't have to worry about it since it has a regulator on the FC for itself. But I'm going to start another build with a open pilot FC and I figured I'll order some 5v regulators so I don't have to trust the power board completely.

Your PDB will still be powering the ESCs (and motors). Did you check that the ESC pads are still good on the PDB?

For your next one, I would recommend the Matek HUBOSD which includes a nice OSD with 140A current sensor.

Yeah the pads are fine. I think its the 5v regulator on them that got busted and ended up killing the FC. Will try the Matek HUBOSD in a future build. Always wanted to have an OSD.
