Updates and questions

[Peter Goldwing]

I havent flown my Evo in more then a month. I just finished building a new house and Ill put it on the market soon.
I wanted to do a orbit shot
When I started the drone from the landing pad I saw one of the motors didnt start turning . after repeating start stop a few times It was running ok with a bit of squealing. After I left it hovering for a few minutes the sound faded way.
I like to say that this drone is kept in mint environmental conditions.

1) Should I send it back since is under warranty?

A few other questions:
2) can I do an orbit flight without any tablet or phone connected to it?
3) Can I send it away further than my connection to do an orbit and THEN return home?

Thanks!
