    Re: ESC calibration guide

    We damaged one of the blades and replaced (one pair on one of the rotors). The new blades are the same as the original ones. We have several questions:

    • When a blade is damaged, do we change all the set (4 pairs) or only the pair that is damaged?
    • Is it recommendable to calibrate the ESC after the replacement? Right now it feels a bit more unstable than before
    • If so, can you point me to the recommended procedure for calibration?

    Thank you in advance

      @iparra ,

      There is no need to re-calibrate the ESC parameters if you replace the damaged motor and / or propeller with the identical parts. The ESC parameters are tuned to a motor/propeller type, not a specific motor / propeller unit. You can replace only the damaged components.

      If the flight feels more wobbly after you replaced the damaged propeller with new one, it is possible the remaining propellers are also damaged or bent, which is causing more vibration.
