hi fellow flyers, this thread would apply to any of the Mini 3 series
the last time i flew My Mini 3 pro several weeks ago ,as i was landing ,at the last moment, a combination of ground effect, and a sudden gust of wind ,meant the drone moved off the landing pad and into the vegitation around it that was not flattened down
this caused one of the rear props, to sustain damage to its rubber tip, which became partially detached
and some scuff marks on several of the others
so upon arriving home, i decided that i would change out the props on all 4 motors ,as they had all been on the drone for a similar length of time
i accomplished this and put the drone away in its case ,so today ,due to a break in the weather, it was actually not raining, i went up to my local flying spot ,to firstly try out my Air 3 with its updates ,and also run a couple of batteries through the Mini 3 pro as well
upon taking off, the Mini 3 started twitching about in all directions ,and struggled to hold position in the hover
as you can imagine ,i was baffled why this was happening ,as it had always flown so well before
i had no choice but to land ,and return home ,upon my return i examined the drone ,and found that on one of the rear motors, i had mounted,one of the pair of props upsidedown ,after turning it the right way ,i did a test flight ,and was relieved when it flew perfectly ,as you know one set of the props has a moulded line on the top of the same pair ,but the others only have the almost invisible writing, on the upper surface ,it was one of those that i had mounted upsidedown
