Hi everyone. I just ordered the jdrones fully assembled arducopter and I've been working on getting it working. I am using it with a Turnigy 9Y radio.
Everything worked great until the radio calibration step, when I noticed that the throttle was sending a signal on both 3 and 5! I found that odd but I figured I could work around it for the moment by setting all the different modes to stabilize. That way it would be in stabilize even if the throttle moved around.
I tried to arm the motors and it didn't seem to work. The green (A) led continued to blink. It never went solid. I looked at the arming troubleshooting at
http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Troubleshooting
and I tried everything there but I still wasn't able to get it to work.
Could the problem be this issue with channels 3 and 5?
Thanks,

Sounds like an issue with your Turnigy radio. Do you have it in some heli mode? (you shouldn't)
