Octocopter 2.6 Motor #6 is weak

Motor #6 on my hexacopter seems to be weak or receiving a lower input from the controller that the rest of my motors. If I apply a little pressure to the prop cone I can stop the motor from spinning. This cannot be achieved on the rest of my motors. This causes to copter to lean to one side and requires constant pitch/roll input to keep level. I beleive at one point I had motor six disconnected and motor 5 was the last motor in the setup, and in this configuration I was getting similar results. Please help??!!

  • Really!!!!....a little silent treatment!!.....I will give that a try and see if it works. Thanks guys!

  • I replaced the motor with a new motor (same make and model) I swapped motors

    with a know good motor and replaced the speed control. I have also moved the suspect

    motor to another esc. It seems to be something with the 6th channel on the receiver or

    2,6 controller. After each change I go in to terminal and reset to controller to factory

    defaults. I wonder if there is a bug that effects the last motor in a multi-rotor config? I

    do want to say that when I finished the build the craft flew great for a day!!

  • Are you talking about the old motor still appearing weak or the new motor with a new motor on the copter still remaining weak ?

  • T3
    Is the new motor the same make and model as the other motors? Did you run ESC recalibration again?
