hi all,
when playing back some flight footage i shot a while back i noticed a weird sound and stutter coming from what i believe is possibly the motors (TBS 900kv)
you can hear (and see) the issue in this short clip:-
i have flown around 20 batteries since that clip was recorded and during every flight that issue happens at least once and lasts for around 5 - 10 seconds....the rest of the flight is completely normal
a member on another forum suggested it may be due to a cold solder joint so i completely stripped the Pro down, removed old solder and then re soldered everything but the issue is still there
I'm a little puzzled as i can't help but feel that if one of the motors or ESC's was faulty then the issue would happen all the time rather than just one short instance per flight?
the above clip was whilst flying in GPS mode (Naza Lite) but it also occurs when flying in ATTI mode too. ive not done much flying in manual mode yet so i can't say whether the issue occurs then or not unfortunately
my flying confidence has really taken a beating since this issue reared its ugly head as I'm now constantly paranoid that I'm going to lose my quad due to some kind of malfunction
in addition to redoing the soldering i have also run the motors without the props on to determine if i could see / hear anything wrong with them but they seem to be working perfectly....no weird sounds, no vibrations, no stutters etc etc
if anyone has any advice i would be very grateful
cheers
