So after about 160-200 flight hours of flight time, the engines do strange things and don't keep the RPM. You start the motors and some start and some fail/retry for several attempts.
If you manage to start the 4 you can fly normally, but if they don't start and you press up the drone will just bump around on the ground.
It all started about two weeks ago, on the rear left motor, but now happens on the four motors.
This was my second Lite+ unit, the one wich I've been unable to update no matter what and is stuck with the previous firmware, but it was still usable. The first one didn't even fly, was dead out of the box with the gimbal hanging there without moving.
I'll just fly my old Mini 2 till I decide what to pick up next:

- Picking a third Autel Evo Lite +? Sounds like a joke.
- <250g alternatives aren't any better than my old Mini 2.
- I already sold my Air2S before buying the first Lite+ because I didn't feel confident with it.
- Mavic 3 seems fine, but Aeroscope.
- DJI FPV seems fun, but it's probably going to be replaced soon and Aeroscope.
- Autel drones seemed fine, but the failure rate and lack of feedback and regular updates (wandering gimball still an issue) show the company doesn't care about their products/customers.
- Evo III doesn't seem anywhere close.
- Parrot is stuck with its old Anafi.
- Skydio doesn't sell in my country.
- Hubsan only does <250g stuff
Idk, maybe it's time to build my own DIY drone.
