Just bought my first phantom 3-advanced, used it without problems over the weekend.  When I tried to take off the blades all came off without a problem except 1.  Standard blades.  Tried using the tool to hold motor with no luck....made sure I was going the correct direction.  Any thoughts?  Can I take back to microcenter to help?  Appreciate the advice.

Not sure how you managed to get a prop so tight, they only need nipping up with your fingers (no tools).

It might be the cheapest option to cut the prop off rather than risk damage to the motor.

Not sure how it got so tight either, How would cutting it off help though?  How would you cut it off to avoid damage?

The props are plastic so you should be able to cut vertically through the hub from the bottom up with a sharp knife.  It might be easier with a red-hot knife.  Cut away from the motor & your body & keep fingers out of the way.
