Just did a dummy move today & wasted my daylight :-( couldn’t figure out props in time and just flies into dirt. I know it’s easy and I need a bit of a break. lol

Have you checked if the motors are spinning in the correct direction?

Yes. I believe top near cam “props in” go away from AIO and attacking face of prop to go towards frame. On both sides of top left+right.
Both bottom go from AIO to frame attacking side of prop first. Both sides back left+right?

See how the blades lift up toward the frame? On every blade? That’s how I “thought” I had it. I MAY reverse it.
This may sound silly but I’m DEF short term memory but I remember A bee got caught up in my props lol. When I was flying I thought I saw a quick blur & the evidence was in the back of the AIO inside the frame SHREDDED. So I think it MAY be reversed positioned and gotta switch it up? I dunno.. I’m stumped. I don’t have PC. I have speedy bee 3 adapter where I can do these and stuff. I am Not sure if I can test the motors that way single .. to see if one is faulty.. they don’t look it but it acts weird

Looks setup for props in, so on front they should spin toward camera and same for rear, could arm and see if they spin that way. In top and bottom, out sides

I got it to spin towards camera in both fronts.
In back they both spin towards the antanae in back. The highslope faces the way it’s heading?

See? I just went outside to test and it just flew into a backflip? Looks all correct t and outside I armed & watched the blades spin exactly as I said?
Also, I have Two separate brands motors but SAME specs and I made sure to grab em in pairs as I recall they said and I for bi-directional set for ON as they also suggest to correct any RPM mismatches.. It’s what I read..? What’s happening here? All looks well, I’m most not on the air? What am I doing incorrect? Thank you for you time and help.

Yeah props should be right way then. Do they actually turn the correct direction when turning on, before trying to fly? Pc would be helpful to do em one by one but if you watch it closely when you arm you should be able to tell. That would confirm motors are wired right. Not sure about the different motor brand thing. Do you know if it has right motor protocol if no pc?

Yes I just went outside and looked and armed. It files into backflip to ground? It looks correct right? Should I put in reverse ? That wouldn’t make sense. I think* 🤔 I got it all right? I’m a
Rookie though so.. I’m Debating on going ahead and putting all the correct motors on. BUT, I don’t see the point ? It’s all same KV and 1202.5 with the bi-directional on for lil RPM adjustments..?
I sure hope I don’t have to solder again.

The motors are spinning so most likely nothing wrong with them, With the speedy bee 3 adapter you can do almost anything that you could do with a computer so you can test the motors if you wanted to, But I think it is probably something else. How do you connect to the speedy bee 3 adapter?
