My TH+ was flow 3952 flights including test flights after each new firmware updates. From the day of my first maiden flight to date, my TH+ is quieter vs my inspires.
Today, while accelerating to a height, I heard a flutter and I’ve never heard this before, even on a windy day or a hard stop. Just to be on the safe side, I quickly landed and did a thorough investigation, when went through my preflight list for the second time. Checked booms, motors, props and battery to make sure that it’s seated in place securely. Everything was okay.
I took off again and got to 55ft alt (wind 4mph) by this time, I was not looking at the bird, thinking that it might probably just a fluke, and concentrated on the monitor, moving the TH+ forward. 10 seconds into a slow forward flight my VO advised me to land, because he heard a flutter. Frustrated of his new and strange noise, I had to retire the TH+ early and used another sUAS to complete my mission.
Earlier this eve, I reviewed the footage, because if there was any abnormality such as a flutter it would create a wobble and that would become evident in the footage, but I have found none, the footage came out steady.
A flutter is caused by two factors 1) Wind 2) fluctuations of power of the motor.
My question is. Is there a way to retrieve my power load? If so, where is it located my log file? and is there a best way to bench test each motors? And if so, any suggestions on how to?
Thanks in advance, gang.
