This is worth checking to avoid losing a prop, and your flybaby! As part of preflight check I have a routine that "may" have averted a near future crash. Without going over my entire preflight checklist, I'll cut to it and share what I found. One step, of just one of the Prop prechecks prior...

Flew in the yard yesterday to test the prop guards. Recently I've been working to get familiar with the menus, so I don't miss something important, and so that I am able to find important things in a hurry when I need to. I can fly the drone fine, but get confused easily when something...

Does anyone else sand off the raised number tag that sits on the leading edge of the prop? I do, and I think it helps a *tiny* bit with noise reduction. When you feel the original bumps with your finger compared to a sanded-smooth version the difference seems pretty dramatic, especially for...
