Can't take off mini 2 after props change

[David88]

Hi! I changed props on my mini 2, but it does not take off, it moves a little to the right only.
Drone was working fine before this.
It is up to date and calibrated.
Do you think they are not properly installed?
Thank you

Are you sure you have the correct props on the corresponding motors?

Can you spin up the motors without the props fitted?

No, that I can see from the blade shapes you have you have an incorrect mixture.
The blades on the right front (RF) and left rear (LR) motors should have a raised section near the hub, the blades on the left front (LF) and right rear (RR) motors should have on NO raised section near the hub. The RF & LR arms have cast in grooves near the motor to correspond with the raised section near the blade hubs, the LF & RR arms have no such grooves.

After reading your message I checked and for some reason they were not, the A were on B, that was the issue (I noticed they have a little hump to distinguish)
I appreciate it

I just took a look at was you said and that was the issue, thank you very much!

Yes, I solved it already, I appreciate it your comment

You might have noticed the crucial typo I made, "on" instead of "no", now corrected.

Just as a matter of interest, why did you change the props?

I purchased a Mav mini from OfferUp and the add said "needs repair" but the only thing I could find wrong was the props installed wrong.

It is SO easy to screw up which props go on which motors. If I recall, the Mini 1 props used to have different stripes on the ends of the props to make them easier to identify. I just took a look at my Mavic 2 and saw that the props and motors were "color coded" white circle and just black to easily match up the right props on the right motors.

I wish DJI went back to striping or something to identify which are A and B props. If you need one or the other you cannot tell which is which while still in the package. The last time I changed props it seemed like more of a challenge for visual identification unless you're Philius and can remember which prop goes where by how the raised section is near the motors.

Great way to get a deal. Needs repair, lol. Gotta love it.
