Crashed drone - won’t fly

[tjhilton]

Hello
New member here - hit the wrong toggle and crashed my Typhoon H on liftoff.
Broke some blades, one arm was damaged at the joint, and the carriage holding the camera has only 2 supports (not sure if it was always that way).
Everything seems to work normally (camera operational, blades all rotate when red button pushed) but it does not respond to right toggle to lift off vertically - it just sits there with blades spinning.
Also, if I hit “home” the blades stop rotating immediately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

one arm was damaged at the joint,
Did you fix the damaged arm? and replace the damaged props? (I assume so, but thought I'd ask to be sure.)

I have to be a little careful here, because of the terminology. The camera should be supported by FOUR rubber dampers, but only two of the dampers have the plastic retainer in them. If this isn't what you mean, please describe what you have.

Again, a little bit of terminology issue. If you mean the control sticks, it is normally the LEFT stick that lifts off. (Most controllers are set up as Mode 2.) Also again, if this is not what you mean, please describe what you are seeing.

Welcome to the Forum Tom. You should plan to spend some time in the Typhoon H "How-to" pages. In particular go to the documents page and you will find an upgraded User Manual that contains way more information than the original manual.

@WTFDproject is absolutly right but it is possible to change the mode in the settings. Please double check, which mode is selected and let us now. If you have not changed anything your left stick will be used for controlling throttle. The right stick is usually for pitch and roll. In other words for moving on a horizontal plane not without rotation of the drone. Rotation (yaw) is also on the left stick.

You will need to run the full binding diagnostics. (link below)
The verification is not just "binding instructions". It is a verification of the MANY hidden clues in the binding process. The purpose is to identify abnormal conditions that are preventing a successful bind and to identify the exact point the binding process is failing. That information can assist in determining the best course to remedy the problem.
You will need to perform every step up to the point the verification does not match what you see. Do not skip any steps. Every step must be performed. Even the steps you have no doubt are already in the correct condition. After some preparation steps, the verification falls into a routine of directing an action, then verifying the correct response to the action. When you reach a verification step that does not match what you see, or if you are unsure if it matches, STOP. Report the step number back to the forum, and what you actually saw at that step. We can then go from there.

Can I get a whoop whoop! I have made mucho progress in the binding process this evening! Got all the way to number 39! Then the camera would not bind. The model # showed under “Model”. The GPS blue light is now on and then it just kept on trying to pick up the camera information and never was able to bind the camera. Waited for it to, but not going to happen!

Houston we have power! Engines have started! How exciting is that! Will have to wait until tomorrow to do a touch and go outside! This thing puts off some wind when the blades get to turning! Thank you guys sooo much for your guidance. Camera isn’t binding yet, but maybe we can figure out why tomorrow! I can’t believe it is working!

Sorry, didn't realize I had tagged along in someone else’s thread. Chalk it up to me being a novice, and a newbie! You guys rock! We will talk again soon…hopefully.
