So the big question is I can "see" anything off in the movement of the motors with or without props. Nothing feels strange when hand turning either. What methods does one use to figure out if a shaft is bent, or something else with the motor has gone all miss aligned?
I had a very minor bump against a wall the other day with my tricopter. The back end just went into a brick wall enough to break a prop, stop rotation, and cause the front end to go up and hit the wall on one side before I got the throttle off thus breaking another and chipping the third. I know, not quite so minor.
After checking everything over, and pulling off the broken props I ran the motors to look for anything odd before putting on new balanced props. Everything seemed fine but now I'm getting a bad yaw to the left when moving forward. The motor mounts are square, I stripped the frame apart and rebuilt to be sure there was nothing I was missing. The Talon Tricopter tail assembly is funky anyway, but it is behaving correctly too.
