so i had a pretty hard crash yesterday into a tree and now the quad is doing this strange thing where it kinda twitches when i try to hover. like it wants to flip but then corrects itself. checked all the props and they look fine, motors seem to spin ok when i test them. could this be a gyro issue or maybe something got knocked loose? its a prebuilt so im not sure what to check first

sounds like gyro drift to me. try recalibrating the gyro first - should be in betaflight if you have it connected. sometimes a hard impact can throw off the calibration even if nothing looks physically damaged

yeah definitely try the gyro cal first but also check if any of the motor screws came loose. ive seen crashes where everything looks fine but a motor mount gets slightly bent or a screw backs out just enough to cause weird vibrations. might want to take the props off and really look at each motor mount closely
