MA storage question

[crosswired]

Hi guys,
it might be a little dumb question:
do you store your MA with props on? mean original Airs case of course.
I'm keeping my Air with props on but afraid that if left for longer time, props will get deformed as the case is pretty snuggy

Cheers,
Kris

I always store mine in a case. I always store it with the props on.

yeah, same approach here just atm got Masterairscrews on and they seem to be more flexible than stock ones and worried abit that they'll get deformed

I have an M2, but had your same concerns with the FlyMore bag. I take them off.

yeah, guess thats wiser than risking purchase of next set of props.

I store mine with props off. I inspect pros for retaining tab damage (had one break off and get stuck in a motor), plus don’t want foam in a case or shifting around in a backpack to put stress in attachment clips, motor spindles, or the rivets in the props.

will follow suit.... going to take mines off as soon as I'll get back home
BTW, I've noticed that you're living in AZ...I've spent two weeks in Chandler recently (end of June) and I loved it (was staying in Gilbert pretty close to Santan shopping center) unfortunately got my drone after that so no aerial AZ footage for me as for now...well, planning to get back there next year

Lots of good places to shoot here. This is a video I did from 8 hrs footage flying the Santans:

Flying the Santan Mountains

I look at this part of the Santan Mountains while sitting on my back porch as I only live about 3 miles away in south Gilbert, AZ. I always wanted to explore the peak with my M2P... Well, I ended up having about 8 hours of video to edit. It was taken on several different days over about 2...

In that case, that makes sense, better safe than sorry!

Crosswired, I use the Masterairscrew props also and they do seem to be slightly larger than the DJI props. I store my drone, RC, batteries and cables in a Dacckit case and don't have any problems.

you're right, they seem to be a little bit longer than stock ones

For storage, my props are removed and rubber caps are placed on to keep out FOD!

 

[tanner707]

I always keep them on. I watched my neighbor that takes his props off wreck his air. He removes the props each time after he flies and puts back in the case. I guess he did not put one of them on correctly and it fell out of the sky into the street.

Props on, never a problem and no distortion.

good idea with motor caps, ordered a set myself

I always kept my props on in the fly more case. With the Master Airscrew quiet props after a 30day stint in the case one prop was warped.

Search the forum you will see threads on this. No idea if it only happens with the quiet props or could happen with the OEM props too.

Now I store the drone on the shelf, props on. Only keep in the Fly More case for transport to/from site.

I have a Smatree hardcase as well. Love that case. Link SMATREE CASE This does not cause any bending of the props. Just seems to be the FlyMore case being so tight.
