Been flying my Avata for several months now, I frickin' love this thing.
Bashed pretty good into a tree today, the bird went down with two broken props. Replaced both with new as I have before, but she won't lift off anymore.
Double click to start the motors, no problem. All four motors fire up and the blades perform correctly at idle. But when I press and hold to lift off like normal, it seems that only three of the props are running full power, so it tries to lift off, but ends up looking like a dog with a bad back left leg.....the blades spool up power, but it can't lift off, it tilts back and to the left and won't get off the ground.
Did I damage that back left motor in the crash? Are they easy enough to replace, if I did?
EDIT: Made a short video of the problem, here's a link to the clip:
Avata with a broken wing?
