Nice.. seems like I have a similar bag. Didn't know that I could put the drone in there with the props. Will try it out next time. I have a very similar set of accessories that you show in the picture. Thumbswayup

ok, maybe i will have to do the same going forward. How do you transport your drone? Do you have a special case? When I got the drone in costco, they had a free DJI bag that came along. I use that to put my controller and drone. I don't think with the props in place, the drone would fit in the bag.

yes, I remove props after flight? Should I not be doing that?

i am not sure which prop fell out, but it was on the left side, i think left front. The previous one that crashed was the left rear prop that popped out. BUT because of my previous experience, every time i flew after the incident, i made **** sure that the props were secure in place. I still...

I believe it was a different prop that came off, but it is irrelevant in this case.. this was a refurbed/new drone that was sent to me after my previous crash. They also send a new set of props.

yes, I know the locking mechanism and had checked the props were secure in the motor at least couple of times before take-off

No, that did not ever happen. Flew it around 3 to 4 times in open environment

I got the original one from Costco. That crashed ( due to prop falling off) ,but it was in warranty. I totally expected that DJI would charge me for repair but to my surprise, they send me a refurbished one (had a new Serial Number). They also sent some new props with the replacement. I have...

After my first crash , i got a replacement drone from DJI. I flew this drone a few times before this accident. So I am pretty sure the props and the motor housing was not damaged.

Since this happened to me before, I triple checked the prop installation after that every time I flew.

was on my Maui trip . Had a nice ocean facing condo. Setup everything . triple checked the props to make sure everything was in place and secure (because previously, my drone had fallen from the sky due to propeller falling off). Battery was full. Started the app and connected to drone...

Hey, I am sorry for your loss. I don't have the drone back from DJI yet to test your theory but I don't understand why DJI app can't do some kind of auto safety check in software to see if the props are installed correctly or not. Also, there is no fail safe mechanism. If one prop falls off...

Yes, Mine fell off from 200ft and the drone was toast.. ..and I swear I had checked that the propellers were secured correctly.. wish DJI had some sort of binary check mechanism. that is either it checks that propellers are secured correctly and flies or it won't take off DJI Mavic Spiraled...

Thanks.. I am going to talk with Costco Concierge service today

nope, I hadn't
