In GPS mode I am getting triple red then a very quick double purple. What does this mean? In the manual a double spark is a stick(s) not in center, speed comand not at zero.

Is this normal? It will be maiden flight soon. Dont want to crash first flight : )

Cheers in advance for the input...

Triple red is less than 5 satellites and the diuble is not centered sticks, try powering up outside with good sky view all around, center your throttle stick and wait sometimes a couple minutes... When throttle is center u should get only 1 blue flash and as u wait the reds "should" go away as satellites are locked in

Cheers Elliot,

Just tried it outside with the throttle centered and locked on to GPS within a minute or two. Double spark disappeared. I didn't know this, does it say this in the manual? So what do I do then? Bring throttle down to zero then perform CSC then lift the craft off the ground? Will the double spark disappear then?

Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far, I wouldn't have got this far if it wasn't for this forum.

I had 2 WKM`s and used it with 3 different Radios. I had never seen single blue/yellow flashes :)
Elliot, is your AD6 ready? I am fighting with Vibrations on it.

The double spark is fine, its blue if in gps mode, green if in atti and not there manual, u can fly as soon as u plug in your battery, only effect will b poor gps lock for rth failsafe and hps position hold, if flyin atti it dont matter really, bring it up to a hover and watch the light when u are center stick on throttle it will b single blink so long as u dont move the cyclic stick, i find th double and single flash is good cuz i dont need to look at my radio to see when my stick is centered and im holding altitude, light tells me

Its in the manual somewhere...
