OK I have found a new one...

[Don Boyd]

Just upon start up. As the props first fire up.
There is a Zipping sound for a millisecond.
This has been happening on my last 4 flights.
Today as I was hovering at 3ft. 2 props just flew off.
damaging a third. I found one undamaged but the other alludes me.
I have attached pics of where the props are hitting the body of the MP.
I am running with prop guards but they seem to be untouched.

So happy it was only 3ft straight down. I had no Bubble on. Anyone have this issue???

Have you crashed the drone & bent the arm? The prop should be clearing the body by about a 1/4 inch.

0 crashes......

 

[Don Boyd]

well accept the drop out of a 3ft sky, but the thing is both the right side blades came off. so the scraping on the right side were not from a hard landing as there was no blade there.

 

[james_mav]

Have you changed out your props? You should be able to compare both sides of the drone & see why one of them has more clearance then the other.

 

[Don Boyd]

no but I will be doing a bunch of checks tomorrow to see.

Thanks

Unusual sounds or actions are a sign to inspect the aircraft thoroughly . You ignored your Mavics cries for help and let it down

Its all good. new check list in place. found that the scraping was from the first prop let-go.
also upon inspection I found something very small in one of the motors making it stick slightly in one direction. It was a small peace from the blade snaps that must have fell into the motor.
I cleaned it out with air and all is well. Thanks rydfree this was a wake up call. well I'm off to film my niece's Bday at the park. Have an awesome day all. Sunshine and very warm out there.

Cheers
