Hello,
I'm building a hexacopter with a Tarot T960 frame and a Pixhawk. Here are my other components:
HobbyKing 40A BlueSeries Brushless Speed Controllers
iPower MT4114 320kv
17x55 props
6s Lipo
I've built the thing and gone through ESC calibration without issue. I can also get it to arm just fine.
However when I go to fly. I arm it and it the motors spin up just fine. However, when I bring the throttle up even to the max the model does not get off the ground. I know the motors are capable of spinning faster because I can give it more on the other sticks (pitch, etc) and it will start to lift off on one side (I already damaged a prop doing this). I also have verified that the props are all spinning the right direction.
It is probably a simple problem, but I can not find how to get it to give the machine more throttle to get it off the ground. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Thanks for posting this. That was the problem.
I too had this problem, this time on a pixhawk. Maybe its an issue with the firmware release? and also I'm using a clone (can't afford the real one :/ ) and am interested to know if you guys are using clones or the real thing?
