Hi all. Getting ready for the first flight of the H. I've been doing ground testing with props off in my basement just to make sure everything that should spin does. That led to a question. The motors will switch on, but if I try to throttle up with the left stick in mode 1, which should tell it to take off, they do nothing. (I know about the auto-5-motor-fail with props off).
I suspect this is either because the controller is too close to the drone or because my house is within 5 miles of an airport (I do get 11-sat GPS signal in the basement, and the motors fail to throttle up even if I turn GPS off, which makes me think it might be the proximity issue).
The park I'll be doing the first flight in is also within 5 miles of that airport (I already have b4ufly and will be obtaining permission, and have checked local airspace restrictions and will be observing the 200ft ceiling where the park is).
I've been reading threads about getting the NFZ waiver from Yuneec, but they're mostly old threads. My H and the ST16 both have the latest firmware. I read somewhere that Yuneec was planning on removing the NFZ restrictions from the default firmware but I have no idea if that's true or not. Are NFZs still a thing with current firmware, or do I still need to do the waiver and update process?
Thanks in advance.
