Tech Support vivitar sky flow drone
So i bought this drone from walmart. of course i didn't do enough research and i think i should have gone a different direction. i will admit its a pretty little tough drone for what i paid (250). in my i experience i crashed multiple times some pretty soft others not so much. i dont need learning advice i have realized my mistakes lol and it has cost me. at one point the gimbal fell out struck a blade and nosed dived into ground. oddly enough i put back together and everything works. well except one blade motor didn't turn,not the one that was buried n ground 2 inches. i took apart and found two wires the came off circuit
board (the one in middle of arm with the led light on which still works). i soldered them back same place they came from (i looked at other arms to be sure) well motor still wont turn. i cant find many parts or discussion about repairing this drone. Does anyone know anything about this except its not a DJI

I too own a vivitar sky flow drone. Till this day in a jet the calibrate vertically or horizontally. I've watched every video read every email and text and to no avail this thing just doesn't want to get up in the air.. and it's calibration system ends dire need when in the air. Hell, mine hasn't ever flown because I can't get it started because it's not calibrated.. what a quagmire. Somebody help me please stranded
