Motor screw come’s out at 60 ft.
Hi I am new to the Draganflyer V ti pro and I would like to thank every one for
all the good information. Taped up blades do last longer.
So far I have 11 battery cycles flights (3 indoors)
The Draganflyer is a lot easer to fly with ti turned on.
Ok back to the motor screw,
I was about 10 minutes into the flight when motor mount & blade came off the Draganflyer flipped over on its back.
It was good the grass was long. No other damages other than the motor mount & the gear.
It looks like the screw came out, the motor slipped out, worked over the gear, and broke the mount.
P.S. I checked the other motor screws and they where lose.
I guest I need to check them more often.
I had to send the new camera back, problem, noisy video, maybe bad wiring.
But I did find if you isolate the transmitter from the mount the video is cleaner

Next day flight Update.
I was on my 2nd flight 3 to 4 minutes in, and the Draganflyer power down, fell 10 to 20' .
Problem: Draganflyer V Ti Pro Circuit Board will not power up, no LED, motor.
Checked the fuse
Tried three charged batteries, no luck, must have been more damage from the day before.
Call Rctoys for help,
Circuit board going to Spectrolutions for repair.
I hope will not take to long to fix.

I had a similar problem after a freefall and it turned out to be a loose power connector on the circuit board. If you haven't sent it back yet, plug up a battery, turn the power on (don't arm it) and gently push and pull the battery connector on the circuit board back and forth in a circular motion to see if the LEDs turn on and off as you do that. If they do, just touch those leads with a hot iron and it should be solid again. That's what I did and have had no problems since. See the post below for details.

Hi Sky High
I checked the power connector, fuse, and other places on the board with a Volt meter.
There is power. the Circuit Board will not boot up.
It's in the mail. I should have it back next week.
Thanks for your help
