My rotors not rotating

[sooren]

Hi DemonJim
I did not disconect the wiring from the motor but mearly dropped it down from the gears to see if it would turn. It did!

UPDATE
I have put it all together again and connected it to a battery making sure there was a slight bit of play in the motor gear and main mesh and low and behold it works............
What worries me is I can not be sure what caused it.
Many thanks to those who have passed on their wisdom.

I presumed as much but I'm sure some people have tried it

Sounds like it could be a broken wire if it's just started working without changing anything - if so the result will be annoying random cutouts as you fly. If you get that time for some tricky diagnostics to do to see if it's on the motor or ESC side.

sounds like maybe your motor mesh was too tight. keep an eye on it over the next few flights

I have a 450 SE with helicommand. Just went outside for a couple of packs, switched the DX7 on and checked al the controls were working ok but when I moved the throttle the rotors did not turn - the DX7 showing 10.4 so that should rule that out however I have put it on charge.
I know its Sunday but am I missing anything obvious?
