Took possession of my H yesterday evening.
Charged everything up today, updated firmware, calibrated everything.
Placed H on ground (no props) and powered on to see how the system behaved.
As soon as power was delivered for what would have been a take off had the props been fitted, there was an awful noise as if sand had been poured into the motors and there was obvious vibration. At the same time the controller reported that the aircraft had gone into 5 rotor mode.. "Land immediately".
Powered off.
Checked all motors for smooth rotation by hand - each seemed fine. No obvious resistance or 'gritty' feeling.
Blew into each motor to dislodge anything that could have been there and repeated the power up routine.
Applied power as if to take off and exactly the same thing occurred again.
And a 3rd time.
Gave up at that point.
It's a Bank Holiday in the U.K., so nothing will occur until at least Tuesday.
Anybody else had this issue?
Mick
