Hello,
This is my first post here. Unfortunately, it comes because I'm having problems and looking for someone to help point me in the right direction. I've had my X8C for over a week and have had zero problems with it. I took it to a friends house yesterday, let him fly it, and there were a few small crashes, nothing major by any means, and when he gave the controller back I noticed the the X8C would pull hard left in the air. I put it on the ground, and now when you try to throttle up to take off, its like at least 1 or 2 of the propellers will not spin. However, if you just turn the X8C slightly in a different direction by hand, and try to take off again, a different one or two propellers might not spin. He did crash in some tall grass that had been mowed, so I thought maybe some of the grass clippings had gotten in somewhere, but I haven't seen anything obvious yet.
I've tried replacing the batteries in my remote and recharging the battery in the X8C just to see if this was the cause, but unfortunately it wasn't. When I manually spin / turn the props by hand, they all seem to turn in their respective directions with the same amount of resistance, like one doesn't feel any more difficult to turn than any others. Has anyone else had this happen before? Any advice? In the back of my head, I'm immediately thinking something is up with the flight board, but it really makes no sense to me, it's not like it got wet or anything like that, and again the small / slight crashes yesterday were no worse than I have had happen when I was first learning to fly it over a week ago.
Any advice / guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
