Today, start Autoflight, start RC, start battery inspire, battery on and ...shut off? Tried again, second time battery shut off again? I charge another battery and try to arm the motors...smoke coming out 1 motor (CW), and hard smell something burnt. Directly all off, looking this motor, nothing to see, but hard smell. OK, as Bruce explain on youtube, removal motor, very easy, and found the ESC fried. On first view, I see nothing on this motor, but I will not take risk at all and I found on internet, second hand motor (CW) with ESC in good condition (as new). Now my question. If I mount this (second hand) motor with this ESC, can I turn on and try to fly without calibration of the replaced ESC? I remember 1 year ago, I replace an ESC of my Mariner drone, and I have to calibrate this ESC! Is there someone who have experience, with changing ESC and motor from an Inspire1? Of course I'm going after the repair done by me, at the first startup of the engines be highly vigilant, and if everything goes normally, the first 10 minutes leave the quad at low altitude hover to controll if everything is normal again. Somebody can help me with this experience and did the same repair?
