Mini 3 Replaced my first broken propeller - tested and all is fine

[Paul Iddon]

This morning I found I had a broken propeller blade, so had to attach a replacement set of blades, which then needed testing. UAV Forecast said it was not a good day to fly - with some strong winds around, but the Mini 3 Pro coped fairly well.

This is the short test video I made, of The Ribble Millennium Link Preston. Opened in July 2002 The Millennium Ribble Link is Britain’s newest inland waterway - the six-mile navigation costing almost £6m.

What are you testing for?

What are you testing for?

To make sure it goes in all the right places, in all the right directions, like it did before the swap out.

I do watch YouTube videos to see how to do things, and there are several out there, some which say to make sure the drone follows commands as before.

Once I was sure it doing that, I sent it out on the short ride around the area in the video.

So, you're testing a new propellor and you do it over water...you are a brave person.

I was over a grassy field before sending it over the canal. Just behind where I was (the bike rider ride in front of me) there is a wide open bit of land but tbh I wouldn't have liked it going down there either, lol...

I would say your new blades are working very well. Great video! Thanks for the aerial guided tour.
