P4 Motors

Hello, when turning 2 out of the 4 props by hand, they sound gravelly. Only have about 10 hours of flight time!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Blow them out with a camera air blower. That has worked for me. It's usually dust or grit picked up on take off or landing.

Check the prop mount screws. This has been noted by many others as causing noise when those screws back off slightly.

Is it actual debris or just the nature of your motors?

Brushless motors sound gravely sometimes. They dont always spin super smooth like they are on smooth bearings.
I had a Walkera quad that the motors where tight and rough feeling when spun by hand, but they spun up under power perfectly.

Thanks for your feedback all!
I will keep using all 4 motors and see what happens.
