Hello all, First time poster, couple week lurker. I have borrow a friends drone and can't fly it. Every time I take off it flips over in the same direction no matter what way it faces. I have calibrated the imu and gps. I read about taking off fast but it goes over before it goes up and out of desperation I have tried pushing the right stick to counter this tip.
So on to my questions:
1. One of the prop nuts was missing so I replaced it with a basic nut from a hardware store. (I know it's a bad idea cause it may fall off but I'm waiting for a proper back ordered one to arrive) Could this be causing the tip? I would think the drone is strong enough to counter this?
2. The same one that was missing the prop but seams to have some friction when I hand turn it. I don't know if I'm too excited and imagining this or if it's real. It is possible the drone crashed and caused this but aren't they pretty durable? I though a prop would go before an issue with the motor?
I really want to get the drone flying and I can't contact my friend cause he's on vacation.
Any ideas how to get the drone off the ground would be much appreciated!
TL;DR: Drone tips on take off (same way each time) I don't know if it's me or it. Help please!
