Motors only spin up through Cleanflight

Hi guys/gals,

I've just started out in this space, and I'm happy to say that 3 months later and many burnt fingers of soldering wires, I finally have a quad copter working...sort of.

Here's my problem. The motors spin up when instructed through Cleanflight. I can drag the slider and the motors spin accordingly. When I turn on the receiver I'm getting the signals come through Cleanflight also. As far as I can tell, the Naze32 Rev 6 flight controller is getting the data it needs from the transmitter and can spin up the motors.

When I disconnect the USB cable, turn everything off and then back on, the transmitter isn't spinning up the motors.

What am I missing in my set up?

Here's my parts list

Turnigy TGY-I6 AFHDS Transmitter And 6CH Receiver (Mode 1)
Acro Naze32 Rev6 Flight Controller Straight
CC3D Flight Controller 5V PDB Power Distribution Board
QAV RT2204-2300KV Quad Racing Motor

How do you arm the copter?

With USB support you don't have to arm. With the transmitter you do. You set up arming in Cleanflight.
