Wonderful info, I appreciate your input :-) the problem is this.... I'm waiting for my P4A to arrive and have been reading too many posts "looking for trouble." I have no experience with the stock props but have read various statements such as; "hubs wear out," "props loosen with time," "prop separated from hub," etc. and as a result have been looking at alternatives. A simple case of an inexperienced newbie with too much time on his hands... The smart thing for me to do will be to wait and see what my own experience is with the Phantom and it's propeller system before running out and making modifications.
Aloha Tim,
Actually, the best time consumer that almost gets you in the drone zone is reading the manual and watching the videos, even looking up some YouTube videos. (But watch out, some of the YouTube videos are flat out stupid, but you will figure those out.) We all get excited when we are about to get one of DJI's products and reading the manual allows you to get in the air sooner once the fascinating technology arrives on your door step.
By reading the manual, you become familiar with all the parts of the product that you need to know to fly safely. No way you will remember all of it, but you will know where in the manual to look for what you forgot. Most of us senior Phantom Fliers have read the manual more than a few times.
There is also a lot of information that is not in the manual that you will want to come here to the Forum and discuss with us. But you have to read the manual to know what that is. The nicest thing about reading the manual is that it lets your imagination soar and that helps when you have to deal with this cutting edge technology.
No matter what type of enthusiast you are, artistic, technical, gadget junkie, etc., this technology will test your limits. Reading the manual a few times helps you get a head start.
Aloha and Drone On! |
