Thanks for posting this . That was a great flight .

Yes ,that is my problem . I got into the settings and found that setting . Thank you for pointing that out. Guess I didn’t understand how that worked with two settings.

Will have to save the files next time when weather gets warmer and send them in. I did check the settings and it is set for “emergency only” . Stay tuned for my file . Thank you for the reply .

Out flying my mavic mini one day as my battery was getting low I started to do a manual landing and about 10 feet away from ground all motors stopped, flipped upside down and that’s the way it landed. Luckily no damage. Was curious about failure because battery still had 28 percent left. Put...

Thanks for the info on cooling the bird when trying to set everything up. Had the same thought that something was going wrong when I was doing the same. As a new pilot I want to make sure all the settings are correct before flight. With more practice I got quicker on checking the settings then...

Beautiful, Thank you for the video.

Hello from Canadotta lake Pa. Hope this wind does quit so we can get these birds up.

Hi from Pennsylvania. Your snow is gone already ??? Here in Northwest Pa. we still have lots. The past rain got rid of some of it turned rest to ice and we just got 2 more inches in the past 3 hours. I’m just dreaming of good drone weather.

Yea hasn’t been good flying weather in NW Pa. especially for me as a new pilot. Don’t want my first flight to end frozen. Dbez1: I’m only about 60 miles north of you at Canadotta lake.

Thanks for all the knowledge. This is a great place to learn. My wife bought me a mini for Christmas and only been able to slowly fly it in the house a few times (without breaking anything so far ) due to cold weather and lots of snow. Waiting for better weather so I can get out there. Learning...

So Blue loctite 242 would not be a good use for it is not recommended for use around plastic. What did you use that was safe for use after discovery of the damaged props ?

Thanks for the info. What is the brand of thread locker to use. The only brand I know of is the blue locktite but that is a thin liquid that would not be what I would want to use unless I could just hardly get a dab on those tiny screws. I plan on using new screws when ever I can. I was just...

What is the best type of thread locker do you pilots use on your prop screws ? I see that on the original new screws, that they use a solid chunk of thread lock so that hopefully it doesn’t bind the props. Don’t know if I will ever need any thread lock at this time since So far as a new pilot I...

Great idea . Thanks for the fix.

Hi, new to this and accidentally bought a set of extra props not knowing about the two different models . I like the upgraded blades but saw the big difference. So please let me know if you can machine a fix. Would be happy to purchase your fix to try it out. wspike
