Can not take off manually

[Umsman]

My problem is: I can only take off with auto..Before I put it away I could pull both sticks back and the propellers would start..But now this will not work, it will only start and lift off with auto.. Do I have something turned off?

Both sticks back, or both sticks back and in?

Do you have Beginner Mode enabled? If so, you will only be able to start the motors after the home point has been marked.

No I do not have it in beginner Mode. It worked great before I put it away. I have update the Firmware I have not taken it outside to reset the home point.. Would that be the problem ?

You don't need to set the home point if Beginner Mode is disabled.

Can you upload your TXT flight log here? That should explain what's going on.

I don't think the txt log will help - it only begins on motor start. The DAT file might contain clues.

It should be sufficient since the OP said he did an auto takeoff.

Well yes - maybe - but I'm not sure that the log file for an auto takeoff is going to show why manual motor start failed. The DAT file for a failed motor start would be more helpful.

Ah, yes, we'd definitely need the DAT log to see that.

Sorry - should have elaborated - it's one of two telemetry logs created on your mobile device:

No problem. I assume that you saw post #2, and are using one of the correct CSCs.
