Well I banged up a motor and while the thing still flies it emits smoke nasty vibrations that are wrecking my video quality. It also sounds rough. I used a mechanics stethoscope and a seismograph app that I found due to the awesome group on this forum. The app showed me clearly which motor was giving me a problem. So today I have 2 tasks.
1. I gotta take out the bad motor and inspect it to see if there is anything obvious that can be rectified. If not I'll just go down to
AerialmediaPros where I bought it and grab a new motor. I'm not the best at soldering but I think I have enough knowledge to
manage it.
2. I also have to try and calibrate the controls...again for the third time. After upgrading to the new software both in the controller and the PV it now drifts back and to the right. It will not hover steady like it did before without me counteracting the movement on the sticks. Frustrating and it makes it a handful to fly. Im going to be winging it. As another member pointed out it would be nice to have trim options on the radio. Then it would be simple. Hopefully I can figure it out in the software.
Wish me luck. If you have any good tips for either dilemma ...this newb is all ears. Thanks.
