Throttle issues Naza Lite

Hi Guys,

I have been flying my quad again today. It was beautiful weather. Unbelievable for November: more than 15 degrees.

I have a slight issue. I am running 4S on Naza Lite and the throttle is very soft. It is like I am flying 2 or 3s. I have checked and the volt meter says 4S and the Naza lite in the configurator can see more than 15 volts as well. Weird.

My setup:
30 amp AFRO ESC
SunnySky 2012 980 KV
Naza Lite
Running a 4S Nano Tech 2250 mah 70C

I can see in the Naza assistant that the throttle range is fine.
I have the idle on recommended and immediate cut off.

Do the gains settings affect this? Basic gains are on the slider button and the attitude gains are at 100%. Normally cannot interfere with the throttle and the power...

Weird. Full throttle and it barely ascends... But it is very stable and flies well.

Any ideas what I can check. Faulty Naza?

Thanks.

I think recommended gains are supposed to be higher than 100. Mine are around 135 or so, I would have to hook it up to be sure. The gains effect pitch and yaw so I don't know if throttle is affected. The lower the setting the more sluggish and mushy the controls are. Wouldn't think voltage would have anything to do with it unless your ESC's are configured for a certain voltage? If it worked before with a different battery and now it won't then I guess you have your answer.

Thanks for your response.
I ave found out: apparently my ESC where not calibrated correctly.
When I calibrated, everything was just wrong. Motors would not arm - and if they are only one was working, and not always the same, weird.
Apparently when you have simonK ESC with Naza you need to put idle speed at HIGH in assistant. Thanks YouTube!!!
