Aloha Guys,
I have just recently my first Quad kit, I have played with plenty of store bought drones and a Hubson X4 but this is my first kit. Below is a link to the clone kit I purchased.

Here is the Transmitter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHJ262Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
the build was coming along nicely, and I was very happy with it, I than went to openpilot and downloaded the new software and started to go Through the GCS. I had everything set up it seemed and once I was done I disconnected everything and went to try out my new Quad and I turned the transmitter on and plugged in my quad and none of the motors would turn. the radio is bound to the transmitter and I have a red light. the CC3d has a solid green light, and a blinking blue light. When I move the sticks the CC3D's blue light blinks a bit faster, but the motors still do not rotate. When I was in the GCS setting this up all the motors spun up in the correct rotation, but when everything is disconnected from the GCS and I try having the TX turned on with the battery feeding the quad nothing happens.
Could this be that I am not calibrating the ESC's long enough or to long ( I have tried both ways)? Could it be a faulty CC3D? could it be a bad Receiver? I am at a loss, I have watched most of the videos on YouTube and read countless things online but I can not figure this out? I am not a Noob to RC (over 20 Years in the hobby with cars and Trucks) but this is my first attempt at a "Real" Quad. Should I try contacting the seller of the kit or Transmitter? I am really excited and want to get out and fly this but this is day four of trouble shooting maybe you guys can help cause I cannot seem to find the answer online!
Thank you all!!!!
Chris
