I have just learnt an expensive mistake - P3adv.

I fitted a set of alloy motor mount protectors but found that the original screws were now too short.

So I used a 'guesstimate' and purchased longer ones.

Result; they screwed too far in and into the motors.

An "ESC status error" was displayed and the Phantom became 'ground-bound'.

The motor's would not start.

4 new motors have just been replaced.

There are times when I almost question my own brilliance.

Peter.
 
Oops. Sorry to hear. Better buy all new motors. I'm surprised that you didn't get the right sized screws with those mounts.
