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 ?
