After much research I finally figured out why my Cheerson CX-20 was tilting to the side. One of the rotors was on upside down. One problem solved, another takes its place. The copter took off and went into some trees. It came down on its landers but one of the motors would no longer spin up.
I purchased a replacement motor and wired it in but it still won't run. I noticed something odd. The other three motors have a little diode or capacitor attached to the motor controller board. The motor that isn't working does not have that. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
It's possible I suppose that this little thing got knocked off and came out of the open battery compartment. Does Cheerson sell these controller boards? Or the diode/capacitor? It's a little cylinder about 3/4" long at the end of the motor board towards the center.
I've uploaded two images - one shows a controller with the little cylinder, the other without.
