Check your blades before flight

[Gavieboydgi]

I have being having massive drifting and my spark flying wierd and I have just found the problem my blades was bent and not lining up when I rotated them when I looked at the blades side on my two back ones was bent and not level when I spin them. It must of happens in transit here's some pics of what I mean

Straighten your blades out like this and make sure your blades spin level to the front ones side on when you look at them. My back ones on the end was bent upwards on one and the other was twisted downwards.




Fixed blades straight

Did this fix your unwanted flight characteristics?

Curious as to if this will even make a difference.

Might be a good idea to remove and store the blades separately from the drone while in the travel case or get one of those blade holders. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I would assume that this would only affect tracking and lift characteristics of each individual blade which should be compensated for in the Sparks flight logic. I agree that it is wise to protect your props and straighten or replace bent ones to reduce vibration and increase efficiency. That is why I asked if it fixed your flight problems.

Yes it seems to have done the trick. My blades was bent both back ones had a flight today and the weird noises have disappeared and the drone drifting seems to have gone.

Yeah I would definitely make a difference, i think it would because flying with bent blades your drone wouldn't fly right.
