Just received the Starling 2 Max.
The left stick on the controller is not self-centering. When I push it up or down, it stays in that position after I release it, instead of returning to the center. However, moving it left and right works fine and returns to center. Is this a defect? It behaves differently from the right stick, which automatically returns to the center.

Thanks for the response, but it’s still very unclear. Do you have any pictures or diagrams that could show the details?

In your explanation about the propeller clips—‘you can just remove them by stretching the print at the base and removing them’—what exactly does ‘them’ refer to? What is ‘the print,’ and which part is considered the ‘base’?

As for powering on, I noticed there are two batteries, and each battery has two connectors. I connected one connector from each battery to the drone, and the green light turned on with the blue light blinking. However, I didn’t hear the chime you mentioned. What is the second connector on each battery used for?

As for the controller, I can slide the bottom button to the right, and the green light on the controller turns on. However, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘hold on the second click.’ Could you clarify this?

Also, when you mention ‘connect the drone to qgroundcontrol,’ what does that involve? And what exactly is ‘GCS’? Any guidance or links to documentation on these would be helpful.

I bought a Starling 2 Max, but I couldn’t find the user guide, even after checking your online documentation. I’m unsure how to install the propeller clips, connect the batteries to power it up, and use the controller to make it fly. These seem like basic requirements for getting started. Do you have any documentation on this?
