"Thrust loss rotor 4" on the CUTA-COPTER EX-1 indicates that rotor 4 is not producing enough thrust, which can lead to unstable flight or crash. This may be caused by a damaged propeller, motor failure, ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) issue, or a wiring/connectivity problem.

To fix it:
1. Inspect rotor 4’s propeller for damage and replace if needed.
2. Check motor 4 for proper operation.
3. Verify the ESC for rotor 4 is working correctly.
4. Ensure all connections and wires to rotor 4 are secure.

A full pre-flight check should be done before flying again.
