Man, its a BNF (Bind and Fly) not RTF (Ready to Fly) so there is going to be some setting up to do. If you buy RTF then the TX and RX have already been pre-configured to communicate with each other, but despite this many times RTF rigs still need some configuring to suit a pilots personal preference. With a bind and fly you have to get the TX talking to your RX (Receiver) and FC (Flight Controller) yourself...
If you are going to get further 'IntoFPV' then you will need to use BetaFlight for tuning in future, for example as your skill progresses, you will find that you want the quad to do faster flips and spins, the only way to do this is by changing your rates, and I think the only way to change rates is through BetaFlight? I haven't used BF (or any configurator) much personally, and I understand that all the options in the app, on top of all the options on the TX, are quite daunting, but if you watched the vid I posted above you will see that its only 5 or 6 setting that need changing to set up an arm switch, failsafe and confirm that the FC is configured for a brushed setup. You will also notice that he changes the min & max throttle setting too, which is what I first suggested might be causing your problem...
The video is only 3 mins, it can't be that complicated!? Just download BF and have a go, if it doesn't work... At least you tried!
