Should I send it back to DJI?

[Finlay H]

Hello.

Yesterday I experienced a issue with screwing one of my propeller screws in, I ended up being able to remove it with some pliers and then screwing it back in though leant that the thread was on a slight slant.

DJI had offered to take the drone in though I wanted to see if I could fix it myself to stop that hassle.

Just wondering what you guys would recommend since it’s still not perfectly in though can fly. (If I should return or not)

Thanks.

Think I would send it in for repair, if you flew with it like that and it fails , remember you have shown this problem to the world, will DJI sort it under warranty. I think as it is it fails my preflight safety check, cheers Len

Looking at the pictures, send it in for the experts to sort out! You've cross threaded the screw!

As a matter of interest, what drone, Mini2? and what was the original problem you thought you could fix yourself?

what drone, Mini2?

It's a Mini 3 Pro.

Don’t fly with that mate. Way too risky

Another "send it back".

Definitely send it to DJI for repair/replacement.

Cheers msinger, but what was the problem in. the first place, just changing blades?
Had my Mini 2 for almost a year now and never had to change any
