nope, failsafe would be blinking leds on fc (it wasn't the case) also my failsafe switch is turned not enabled.

A piece of lint has found it's way inside the switch, causing inconsistent contact? Sorry, that's all I've got

I have a riddle of my own (but I don't know the answer). How did this thread go from 150 views to 7200 views in less than 8 hours? I am bit surprised none of those people had the answer...Big Grin

My F3 Evo will blink red for about 10 seconds before it goes out (which means it's ready to arm) and during that time I can toggle the switch all I want and nothing happens - exactly as you are showing. but I'm sure the answer to your riddle is a little more technical.

I don't know if I'm on the right track, but Naza-M needs to be toggled between flight modes to activate gyro calibration

as there are no other options or solutions here it goes:

fc - correct setup, rx - correct setup

closest person to solution Renov8r

issue - sand in gimbal Smile when throttle is maxed down typically it is at 1000, here while doing the tests in raceflight.. it was at 1000 as i was pushing it down with a finger...
however during the arming proces my left hand is pulling the switch and when the stick is not forced down it sends something like 1050 or so... (i don't hold the throttle while arming)

so what is the learning out of it? before you do all the fancy analysis... clean the gear...
All the best

well this is realted to the amount of dirt that my quads are carrying Smile
the build weight is irrelevant... after few flights they have +1kg of soil/grass/trees on them... until now my cobras could live with it... the new motors i see now ... might not work with soil in them
All the best
