Bug Kill on Props.

[Houk]

Ever get any bug blood or guts on your Props from everyday flying?

Yuck! Not yet that I'm aware of. I may come back with a bird beak they way those Mocking birds get after a drone.

Yep, those pesky buggers are too inquisitive

I was flyingng in sport mode the other day at dusk. Had bugs splattered. A lot. Lesson learned.

Not many with the Mavic, but my Phantom 3 would come back covered with them. Really showed up on the white blades and fuselage.

I make a point to insect the props for damage in case it hits something bigger, like a June bug.

Yeah, when you see the swarm of bugs, don't fly under it!
I did that ONCE with my Schleuter Magic Helicopter years ago, saw the swarm/mass o' bugs and thought it would be fun/neat to see them get sucked into the main rotors.....

Well, I never did it again, bug guts all over the blades,main boom, mechanics etc.

Well, the Mavic, to me, when it flies over head sounds like a swarm of bees. Maybe they thought it was the mother ship....
