    Hello,
    Noob question. I couldn't see any markings on Starling 2 Max's motor or the propellers. Based on the motor spin direction, fixed the propellers in the foll. way
    Left/Right is with with respect to the front camera.

    Front left & Rear right (spinning CCW)

    The raised part / leading edge of the propeller is facing the direction of the motor spin.

    Drone wasn't able to take off (with the RC). Arming works. Giving it throttle spins the drone and doesn't push it up.

    Can I get some help please? Anything I'm missing?
