Hello guys.

I am new to RC autopilot. I just finished building my GAUI X5 Helicopter and I am trying to integrated it with Pixhawk Autopilot. As I finished with all the calibration process, I found out that my Pixhawk is unable to arm for first flight test.

As soon as I powered on my Pixhawk and connect it with Mission Planner (as I am using Mission Planner as GCS), I try to arm the motor by holding the throttle down and rudder to the right, then my HUD window display this word, "Arm: Motor Interlock Enabled". My LED light display flashing green, in which according to the manual, it means that the Pixhawk is disarmed. I search what does mean by this Motor Interlock Enabled word, by I end up knowing nothing. I really don't know what that means.

I am using Stabilize flight mode when trying to arm the Pixhawk.

I am using:
- GAUI X5 Formula Helicopter
- Futaba T14SG Transmitter
- Futaba R7008SB Receiver
- 6S 5000mAh LiPo Battery
- Hobbywing Brushless ESC Platinum-100A-V3
- GUEC GM-601 Brushless Motor (1820W-910KV)

I really hope you guys can enlighten me with this problem. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
