0 Quadcopter motor failure Posted by Bernard Andre Lacasse on October 25, 2011 at 10:20am In a quad configuration, if one motor fails, can it continue to fly on only 3 motors? Thanks. You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments! Join diydrones Email me when people reply – Follow

Unfortunately, no. The quad will most likely flip and yaw. You need at least 6 motors in Y6 configuration (3 pairs of stacked motors) for any sort of redundancy, but X8 is the most reliable.
