motor failure

I am a 13 year old boy living in America. I run a small (microscopic) Aerial Photography Business in Pittsburgh, PA. Last time, when we were photographing a Party with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro, some idiotic kid aimed and fired a Party Popper at my Drone, filling all the 4 Motors with Confetti. The...

Last week on the fourth I was out at the beach flying my P3S that I've had for about 18 months. The drone seemed to be working fine and I had just taken it out on another flight. The wind was gusty, as you'd expect from the coastline, but nothing worse that what I've flown it in before. As I...

Looking at the top of my P3 4K I am sure that one of the CCW motors does not seem to be running as fast as the others (it certainly seems to look that way when viewing the props from above). If I take off to hover, the AC starts doing circles around some hidden point almost like the old tether...

Hey there all, So I recently got my phantom 3 (finally!) and took it out for its first flight today. However when I tried to take off, the phantom instantly crashed to the ground and I noticed that one of the propellers weren't spinning. Luckily I was next to a bush so it landed without any...

Hi i have 4 motors that i replaced from my phantom 1 but i know that a copuple of them are working yet. how can i test all for motors in order to know which works well? the motors arent connected anymore so its impossible to test them with naza assistant. another quiestion, do de motors die when...

In an unnecessary rush I've made a stupid error and killed my P3A - persistent ESC errors despite all the standard troubleshooting. The story is: after some routine maintenance I used the wrong screws (too long) to mount the motors, I assume the majority of the damage was done when trying to...

Hello All, New user in this forum, Bought my P3-A abt 2 weeks ago, Been flying for years with cheaper models of helicopters and quad copters.....I had my eyes on the Phantom for years and watch it grow. Finally bit the bullet. In any event on my third fly something strange happened, I did the...

This is going to sound like a dumb question especially since it is called a "Combination" stick command but I know CSC's are the #1 reason for crashes so I figured I would ask - After landing, holding down the left stick for 3 seconds turns off the motors - My question is, if I am descending...

This is quite interesting. I just received my Phantom 3 Advanced yesterday. And I am taking it for a test run. And after about 10 seconds of flying it in the air, one motor supposedly burned out(And I received "Motor Obstructed") warning. Then it flipped sideway, and tumbled to the ground. It...

Ok, so had prop guards on and flying like normal, but then did a firmware update.... silly me to remove all the the props/accessories for the update and use the long guard screws again... Now... I am getting an esc error and all 4 motors are not working. My question is: Did the guard screws...

While landing my P3Pro on Wednesday evening during a sunset flight, I noticed an unusual sound. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that one of the motors was on the verge of complete failure. It appears that it started to unwind itself. The motor was in normal condition when I performed my...
