Hi everyone, so I have built a quad with the following components : fc - cube, esc - t motor air 30A, motor - tarot martin mt4008 330kv. So the problem is that this quad takes off but then it cannot maintain its altitude and it just falls back to the ground. The take off we talk was in stabilize mode. @Alvin@philip @xfacta

Your quads motors are running max power for some reason. Maybe overloaded?
