Re: [Starling 2 Max Not Arming](/topic/3961/starling-2-max-not-arming)
Hi Eric and Vamsi!

I am having similar issue after calibration the controller for my Starling Max 2. 
I am using Ghost RC controller. On QGround Control application, the kill switch and the mode changes do reflect whereas the drone arm does not activate.

Please, advise the steps to resolve the issue.
Below is the screenshot of the error message.

It is saying that your throttle is not at lowest position. Is that the case? Can you calibrate the RC in QGC and see all of the sticks moving as expected?
