I have the 35a fc but same prcedure as for the 20a. You need to flash bluejay (lots of youtubes on that) which supports bidirectional dshot. I also run bf 4.3 and not 4.2 and a cinewhoop preset. Nothing factory.
But again thats all for later. Focus on getting it to work norml first. This stuff is finetuning and has nothing to do with your wierd throttle issue. I have no explanation why your throttle is so low other then the points i mentioned to check.
Maybe more experienced forum members will have some idea. Could even be a hardware issue as it worked fine before you said.

Yea its really weired, because i had the Problem from that post: https://intofpv.com/t-controller-interve...th-googles
So i changed the vtx channel to the highest one and this problem was fixed.
I checked it on the bench and everything worked fine, so i installed the props.
I wanted to test fly indoors and relised, that i have put the prop on incorrectly, so the where sucking the drone down to the ground.
I fixed it and fly it again indoors. Thats the first time i noticed this problem. I thought to myself: A bit load, but i am indoors, a bit low on power, but the bettery is on storage voltage, propably just that.
So i went out the next day and could not really fly, because it hurt my ears and the low power wasn´t fun to fly.

That´s a more detailed description.
I dont really think the problem was caused by the wrong prop directrion.

======== FOR ANYONE FINDING THIS OLDER THREAD ========

I had the same problem with a GEPRC Cinelog20. After a lot of worry, and thinking ... I discovered:

[1] I had removed props to replace a broken guard.
[2] I put the props back .. with the leading edges facing the correct way (carefully checked)

--- BUT ---

The props are not symmetrical top and bottom. You are able to put the prop in "upside down" and the leading edge will still face the correct way. It will look right ... but if you feel the propeller the "face" is concave not convex (slight curve difference). You can feel one prop and then feel the diagonal one ... and you'll see that you have the prop upside down.

The Quad will still fly, but nowhere near properly. It will use too much power for too little lift, run batteries flat fast, make a LOT more sound, and generally feel like it is wearing out or broken or something.

It was a very simple fix in my case. Hope this helps. ?
