    Hello I have a good running phantom 1 and I noticed that the 4 mounting screws on the bottom below each motor has 4 screws, some of these screws are in different positions (meaning some are not screwed all the way down it seems) is this normal or should I tighten all of them down.
    Thanks
    Terry

    I use a very small dab of blue threadlocker (medium hold) on my screws. I then snug them down. Don't go crazy as the motor base is aluminum. Checking your motor's screws should always be done as part of your pre-flight inspection.

    well the guy I bought the fc-40 from used the prop guard screws after he took the prop guards off so it jammed up the motor windings I think and now I need new motors................ who has any???
