My medevac is rotating like crazy to the left. I did not crash, and nothing looks broken... can this only mean that one of the motors are broken?

if the noise is very mechanical, check the motors, if a motor is shot and earths out, it will blow the contoller, (trust me I know).
You have been warned lol

or set your proportional screw level with the boom (ie horozontal) it may of moved?? set it with the power on then disconnect the battery and then reconnect it,, check that the gyro is about 90% too.. see your manual under PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS 4in1,,and is your battery fully charged or low???sigpic

If the Medevac has had a few knocks the top rotor hub can loosen on its shaft causing it to slip, this will give the symptoms you have, as will a knackered motor, they sometimes seem to have short lives.Steve H

havent touched my broken medevac for a while now bevause of exam period, but now I feel the urge to fly again.
as I posted earlier the heli is yawing like crazy, and when I try to turn the engines, it feels like there is less resistanse in the motor that turns the top blades. (heli yaws to the left)
Is this a good symptom for a broken motor? Is it possible to open the engine and do something? I have a soldering iron and som skils, but never opened an electric motor before.
