1. Motor and ESC Issues:
Motors not spinning or spinning inconsistently due to faulty ESCs or incorrect wiring.
Incorrect motor rotation direction causing instability in flight.

2. Battery Problems:
Low battery voltage leading to sudden power loss during flight.
Using an incorrect or incompatible battery (e.g., insufficient discharge rate).

3. Flight Controller Errors:
Incorrect calibration of the flight controller causing erratic flight behavior.
Incorrect or mismatched firmware flashed on the flight controller.

4. Transmitter and Receiver Issues:
Loss of connection between the transmitter and receiver due to improper binding.
Incorrect channel mapping causing incorrect control responses.

5. GPS and Navigation Problems:
GPS module not locking onto satellites, leading to issues with position hold or return-to-home functions.
Incorrect placement of the GPS module causing interference.

6. Propeller Problems:
Installing propellers in the wrong orientation or on the wrong motors.
Damaged or unbalanced propellers causing vibrations or inefficiency.

7. Frame and Build Errors:
Loose screws or poorly assembled components leading to vibrations or instability.
Unbalanced weight distribution causing difficulty in stabilization.

8. Sensors Not Calibrated:
Gyroscope, accelerometer, or compass not calibrated properly, leading to drifting or unstable flight.
Sensor interference from nearby electronics.

9. Camera and FPV Issues:
No video feed due to faulty wiring, damaged FPV transmitter, or improper camera setup.
Video signal interference from other electronic components.

10. Software and Firmware Errors:
Incorrect PID tuning causing instability or oscillations.
Using outdated or incompatible flight controller software.

11. Failsafe Configuration:
Failsafe not configured properly, leading to uncontrolled crashes when the signal is lost.

12. Weight and Payload Issues:
Overloading the drone beyond its capacity, causing reduced flight time or inability to take off.

13. Connectivity Problems:
Weak or inconsistent signal due to damaged antennas or interference.
Incorrect telemetry setup leading to loss of flight data.

14. Environmental Factors:
Flying in strong winds or rain, which can destabilize the drone.
Magnetic interference affecting the compass.
