cc3d wont fly

[mason alper]

I have gone through gcs and configured my transmitter and i try to take off (always armed mode is on) nothing happens.

 

[mason alper]

I am using fs ia6 receiver and fs-i6 transmitter

 

[Jackson]

fs ia5 transmitter

No such thing. And take it out of 'always armed mode is on', choose a way to arm it from the drop down.

I chose a way to arm it and it did nothing the light on the receiver only blinks when i change flight modes. (i updated my transmitters name)

Didya hit 'SAVE'?

 

[mason alper]

I hit save yes And I got a new transmitter a dx6i.

 

[Jackson]

dx6i.

Does that even have a 3 position switch?

 

[mason alper]

It doesn't need one it has a 2 position switch under flight modes I selected 2 position switch

What software are you using, any I know of have 3 flight modes. Rate, angle and horizon or a version thereof so you need a 3 position switch.

 

[mason alper]

I'm using ground control station

Yeah, but which one?

During your set up in GCS (OpenPilot? LibrePilot? Other?) did you go through the transmitter setup wizard?
Do all your motors react and spin up during the calibration?
Did you go to the arm/disarm page and select an arming method? (Typically, I use the Yaw-Right to arm with NO spin up)
At that point, did you save your settings?
Also, are you using the right protocols for your receiver? (PWM? CPPM?)
There are many possible reasons you're not able to fly. But I would lean toward a missed step in GCS or failure to save after each setting.

Hope this helps.

As was said why limit yourself to 2? There is a workaround for that old tech radio you bought using 2 switches in combo to get all the flight modes that are available.

Here's a rundown on the flight modes.

I got a really nice dx6i for $59.99 and I have a faulty cc3d it fails to calculate level and has x over atti and red over stab
