Solo Flipped when Armed

[5r49cfu]

Using Tower, pressed Arm, motor(s) spun up WAY faster than normal--Solo flipped.

One of the motors had been making a clicking noise previously.

Any quick diagnosis to offer?

Are you using stock props? If not make sure they are oriented properly..
Also try to arm and fly manually what does the solo do?

Stock props.

Flew a couple of missions just before this.

Note that Solo forced me to do a level cal before this flight, or the flight before this one.

I will try arming again later today and report back, and I’ll analyze the logs.

I'm no expert but sounds like bad motor

I swapped all four motors/props and it flies fine now.

Still really loud!

Solo isn’t sneaking up on nobody!! Though it seems like the Master Airscrew Props made mine a littler quiet- ( still not sneaking up on anyone )

My brother had this happen with his solo using tower. If you want me to get more info I can sure call him. I recall him saying it was how he executed a tower mission. But this was a long time ago.
