Hey guys!

I just thought about sharing this with everybody.
About 4 months ago I had a weird thing happening with my PS3. Once I armed the motors, 3 of them turned on but one of them was off. That was weird, so I shut it down and tried again, and everything worked fine. After that I took a closer look into the motors and I noticed the one that I had the issue had some resistance when I tried to manually rotate it followed by a grinding noise. It freaked me out.

Long story short, couple days prior I had landed in a gravel field and I think some little rock or sand got caught inside the motor, either from the landing or from my backpack. I blew all the motors out with air (compressed air can) and I bought some silicon protectors. That was the best thing I've done.

Never had the issue anymore, so those things are worth.

Anyways... just thought this would be helpful :)

Had similar with my first standard, landed in loose stuff and same probs with a motor, good blow and it was fine.. Pleased I got it out before it did ant damage, as I think you have done too.
