Hi all - recently build a quad and have been testing it the last few days.

Yesterday when I came to land I noticed the copter was leaning forward a lot - so much I had to pull back the stick to level and land nicely (otherwise it would of crashed on it's face). When I got to the copter the front right motor (1) was much warner than the rest.

Here are the motor outputs during this event:

I was surprised to see how diverged the motors were - granted this was a normal flight, not just hovering the entire time.. you can see lines 4400-6000 i was lotering and my 1 motor is working much hard than 3.

I replaced motor 1 with NO changes to my CG and hovered for 15 minutes:

I'm just curious if the above is what I should expect, or are my motors still divirging too much due to CG being off? I don't have a baseline for what this should look like, nor offsets of 'acceptable' limits so I would really like some (any) input.

logs attached.

Thanks!
