Blade Inductrix Noise

[MrsC]

Hi everyone! I recently purchased a Blade Inductrix RTF to learn how to fly again. It's been years! I noticed it is making a rattling sound. I checked the wires, motors and how the battery sits but it is still making the sound. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! 😊

Are the props hitting the frame? Do they spin freely by hand and if you blow on them?

No everything there seems to be okay. It appears that the board is loose and that is making it rattle. One of the screws is loose. 😊

Just don`t over tighten it there are rubber gromit`s to soak up vibrations, they should be compressed just a tad.

After tightening them a bit it's still rattling. I am really not sure why. 🤔

Did you check the frame for cracks? Did you change props to see if it makes a change?

The frame is perfect. I hear it when I lightly tap the frame. It's almost like the props are rattling. They are not cracked and they are pushed down where they should be. I guess I should start there by just replacing them. 😊
