Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out or give me some suggestions to get my quad flying! I have searched and searched and run into a road block. Here are the details:
Frame: 3DR Quad
Motors: 880kv with frame bored out to accept larger motors
Props: 12x45
ESC: Thunderbird 36
APM2 with Sonar
RX/TX: Futaba 7c / R617FS (reserved the throttle control)
Battery: Turnigy 4000 3s 30-40c
Latest Mission Planner and Quad firmware.
I've got a gps lock, ESC calibrated (auto) and the radio calibrated. all props are on correctly, at full throttle in my living room it won't lift off the ground. Any ideas?
I have brand new bats and just did a full charge thinking that might be the issue. Please and Thanks!

so does everything work ok now. just wondering as i was thinking of switching to cc thunderbird esc's.
The ESCs are not the recommended kind because they are not fixed range. Can you reprogram them to not auto-range?
A Turnigy 4000 is a rather large and heavy battery. You're running the 880kv purple motors from jDrones? Those would be hard pressed to turn a big prop and a heavy quad.
