So Im setting up a heli all was working fine, was in governor mode, and noticed so shaking in the head. I landed lowered the head gyro, changed battery packs and was about to lift off again, or so I thought. After the battery change the Heli would not respond to the throttle.The esc makes the sound for the battery count but not the arming noise. All servos, gyro, and bec seem to be working. The red light is blinking very fast from the esc after the initial start up. I have tried to recalibrate the throttle but no luck. Also i tried to enter Castle Link on my pc and I wont even allow that.I have also checked the wiring, the bec leads into the gyro are getting 5.5v on both. also tried a different motor and that wont spool up either. Any idea what this could be? was working just fine before landing.

THanks

turns out one of the servo wires from the esc to the gyro were loose.

Yes all set now. The signal wire (orange) from the esc got loose from the crimping in the wire pin. Thanks
