Are your two sticks in the neutral position and do you get a ready to fly message ?

The next step is normally to pull the two sticks down and towards the centre to start the motors. Does that work?

Thanks for keeping us updated. Generally, there will be a reminder in APP if something goes wrong. It seems that something has been missed. Anyway, nice to know the issue has been figured out. Happy flying!

Were you getting a message telling you to calibrate the IMU?

When you finally got it starred, were you doing so in the same location as your previous failed attempts?

Thanks
