3 Prop failed, and the drone fell

On a long and pleasant flight over faritale canyon, on the way home, suddenly a prop failed (all 3 blades came off mid air ) and Chimera fell down - found it on the next day Sunday (good I had Samsung AirTag attached!) But drone lost an arm Never thought such a strong prop could explode by itself in flight

That is something you don't hear very often. Hope the drone wasn't badly damaged.

Glad you were able to find your drone.

I'd imagine that frequent, abrupt aerial maneuvers in FPV mode would stress propellors more than when the craft is in relatively gentle level flight. I certainly can hear the difference when my Air 3 is within earshot.
