    How damaged is a blade before it’s garbage?

    Fly fearlessly. See my field repairs.

    fly without fear

    I do have a set of replacement props. But the thrill of keeping the old ones mended ... So maybe I'll have an unused set to sell you some day! ;>) Jim

    Fly through forests without fear ... but keep a roll of Scotch tape in your kit. Banjo-Jim Lowell, Michigan

    Proper procedure for Blow-Away event

    That's exactly what I did trying to fly under a bridge that was funneling the gust both up and down. Thank you! Banjo-Jim

    I MESSED UP- HELP!!!!!

    Not to worry. I have been flying this blade over a flooded river. Trust DJI programmers! Scotch tape to the rescue. And re: wind. I had my MM in 20 MPH gusts and it did just fine. Be bold - these hummers are sold. Banjo-Jim

    Beautiful video for sure. But what are we Amerikanskis going to do with the Hebrew chicken scratching? ;>)

    Successful flights

    I am sorry to read about so many crashes, fly aways and other problems. My Mavic mini is a trouble free, robust flier. Check out my survey of the winter flood of the Grand River in Kent County, Michigan. Fearless flying! The bridge is the longest wooden truss bridge in the US! Banjo-Jim

    Repair Mavic mini propellors

    It works just fine - kudos to Mavic's programmers. The next test will be of a blade where I had to replace the tip with Scotch tape. Stay tuned.

    Repair Mavic mini propellors

    So you tried to fly through a tree and took a big divot out of one of props. No problem. Put Scotch tape on both sides and you're flying again!
