23 Just a quick question.....will check it out for myself but....had a bit a crash today. Was way too windy out side to fly so for some reason I thought it would be a good idea for me to fly around in the basement. Sigh. Had a rather violent crash...into the floor, off the ceiling and back into the floor (concrete). I was amazed that nothing broke...well the battery I am concerned with...it apperantly was smashed into one of the floor joist above on the way up and it's got a dent all the way across it...seems to work ok....so far. Anyway...my question...when I put it all together and took off again it has a very distinct drift to the rear. Recon I knocked the accelerometers out of adjustment? As I said...I'm going to check it...was just curious if anyone else has had the same problem. Thanks all.

139 Very unlikely. Probably hit your prop, motor bearing/shaft, or the frame ? I bet it's something physiccal

23 Thanks Oscar. That was the first thing I checked .......the alignment of everything. I could find no problems in the frame and no obvious problems with the motors or shafts. One of the front props did get a little damage.....both ends of the prop are very SLIGHTLY flared upwards if that makes sense. I've had them like that before and it caused no problem so I kind of dismissed it. I'll swap that out this evening when I get home and see if it makes a difference....hmmmm(just had a brain fart)...never thought about this...maybe I did have that problem before but never noticed it outside because of the naturally turbulent air and in the basement, no turbulence. Damn....lookie there....ya learn something everyday! I'll post what I find out. : )

23 Replacing that front prop did the trick. I am really surprised it caused that problem ....you could barely tell the difference between it and a new one. be that as it may...all is well in crash land. : ) Thanks Oscar!
