[size=14.666666984558105px]Yesterday - when hovering over water - I got an error message I've never seen before saying "Motor Idling (Propeller Loose or Missing)[size=14.666666984558105px]"...!!!! - also "Motor Obstructed[size=14.666666984558105px]" (# 1) ?!?!?!

[size=14.666666984558105px]This was on my 2nd flight (on stock DJI loose rattle v2 props). The error message came shortly after take-off, while I was hovering - not a message you want to see while over water. I landed, checked everything (props was mounted correctly), rebooted and never saw the message again.

[size=14.666666984558105px]Why on earth would I get that an error message saying prop is loose or missing while hovering in the air 73m above water?

[size=14.666666984558105px]Also - I noticed a new segmented indicator line [size=14.666666984558105px](#2 on the screenshot) around the radar for the first time. What does that indicate? The ac was hovering with not obstacles at that altitude within +200m. To avoid confusion, please only reply if you know. Thanks.

Please ignore the 2nd screenshot. The interface of this forum is confusion, in chinglish and won't let me remove it now.

AIRFLIX, this may be the false warning of the APP.
For the sake of safety, please have a simple test: push the throttle without mounting the propellers to see if the motor spins up normally and is there is any noise.

No sh*t, Sherlock. I figured that much as it had 4 propellers and flew fine.

Motors spin up just fine without out props and without noise. Just yet another DJI software bug?

Then no worries, it's not any bug but a false message, sorry for the inconvenience caused. Enjoy flying.
