For mini series cold weather fliers an 'interesting' thread. Prop damage.

It probably has relevance to all three models so I don't know where to put this.

The problem with the propellers

I would like to point out a certain danger that occurs when starting engines, especially at low temperatures, when the plastic of the propellers becomes brittle. Rapid engine take-off combined with propeller inertia may result in later failure in flight.

Interesting, there are often good posts on the DJI forum.

Looks like they spin around and hit the opposite hub, very unfortunate.

I would assume for start up balance sake mini owners would open the props to 180 degrees like many other bayonet style prop owners do with theirs.
Maybe with that screw on design blade, that doesn't matter so much, but reading rapid start / inertia, maybe.

I think because of all those that fold the props and put them in the case the props get a little out of shape if not just warped some. We have yet to have that issue with the Mini 2 in the cold but I will be aware of it, Thank you.
