This is a heads up regarding a bad set of MPP 8331 props I acquired directly from DJI, manufactured on 1/2019. The issue is that they are far more flexible than they should be, resulting in the front props hitting the front arm shoulders and body when under severe turbulence or stress. In almost 1200 flights, I have never seen this before.

Take a look at my thread buried under my post in Off Topic. I have two sets of new props going in the dumpster, replaced with good ones manufactured on 4/2020.

Thanks for the heads up.
My 2 or 3 sets are fairly early, around early 2017, all good there.

Just got my MAS sets to evaluate too, will keep a close eye on that too.
Ya know, I've got one set of MAS, but I've never seen them mess up like these 8331's. I don't think the MAS has as much flexibility.
