    Hello all,

    I am having an issue with my AR Drone V.1 taking off successfully. It looks to me as there is an issue with the right front prop where it is either not be getting enough power or not rotating fast enough or ...??? It was flying perfectly before allowing my brother to fly it after a couple of beers. During his drunken flight he says that it crashed from about 15ft and landed on the right front crossbar / prop. I have inspected and saw that the pin that holds the propeller on looked warped/bent but other than that there were no other signs of physical damage that I could tell. I replaced the warped/bent pin, which I thought was causing the issue but after doing so I get the same result, the drone flips over forward towards the right (it flips over the front right prop).

    Here is a link to two videos of shot of the issue I am having:
    (Video from Rear)
    (Video facing the Drone head on)

    If anyone has had this issue or knows how to fix it I would really appreciate any/all help or insights on how I could fix my drone.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks @webman I'll see if I can take apart the motor and look if it is spinning like the video shows and see if that is the problem. Thanks again for the response.
