Motor Question

[skaggst]

I have a Phantom 3 advanced and noticed hover isn't quite as stable as I think it should be....I replaced the propellers with factory ones and noticed when i lightly spin the propellers they go around a couple times and stop....they seem to be stiff. Was wondering
if this is normal. Thanks, Terry

If a motor behaves incorrectly, it is easy to figure that out by just comparing it to other motors.
It is very unlikely that more than one motor will go bad, and wear will also affect motors unevenly.

So, compare. If one stops way faster while hand spinning, or does different sound when started without props - then it needs a service.

THey all seem to spin the same and no weird noises......guess its normal thanks. Terry

Just maybe an unbalanced prop. although not very likely as you said it is the original one.
