I cut Mavic Mini props to see what happens...

I did some noise level tests with aftermarket props, since I will not be keeping them I figured I will do some destruction experiment, do not try this at home It is surprising how much that little bird can handle.

What is the foil on the body for ?

??It stops DJI downloading the logs??

and to block gps so that no fly zone limitations don't register on the AC ?

I live on the border of the blue zone (20m into blue zone) and DJI still didn't fix unlock for the blue zone, so in order to take off in my basement and do this video, I need to "thin foil the GPS signal"

I found better way to do that

Well that’s just typical of DJI to design a drone that doesn’t fly when you remove 50% of the total propeller area! I’m going to return mine.... honestly, I’m still laughing at the ’Evil Laugh’ caption ??

Who do I report to for drone abuse? ?

Have you checked flight logs before and after to determine motor strain?

I saved them but didn't have time to look at them yet, I'm especially curious about right rear motor (one with almost no props left)

Ok I see yo're really bored. You're better doing a 10K row.

Never let children play with sharp objects

One of the basic rules for propellers, longer props are more efficient than shorter ones.

Trimming prop tips to remove damage, within reason, is often done with aircraft props. As with drones, it's wise to balance them after to avoid vibration damage.

Please share!!

Please share!!

Yes.......Please ?

I removed the brakes on my car to see what happens. (LOL. JK. Sorry... I couldn't resist.) ?

I up the challenge even further. I cut up my mini and just flew the props around.
May post video later.
Happy Holidays all!

Has anyone tried the carbon fiber props yet?
