Hello
I just changed the propellers but I'm not sure of the result, everything is really small for big hands.
I can't get them deeper like the previous ones

Is this big space normal? with the new propellers.

They need a bit of space to freely rotate, but your space is much larger than mine, & your screws are protruding much further.  My screws are flush & you can barely see a gap between the props & motors. Are you sure the screws are fully seated?  (Note mine are all the factory-installed props)[Image]

Thank you my friend, yes I put it correctly and strangely there are or it goes well and others that leave a space. I did a flight test and I had no alerts message and the drone behaves properly. I cross my fingers so that a propeller doesn't go in mid-flight

Have ran into this before, all I did was try a different screw (your pack should have extras) and the spare ones fit good..

I think with new screws you may have to win the force if there's any pre-applied tread locker paste.

Personally I am re-using old screws several times with no negative consequences. Be careful with your insertions as too much force can strip the motors threads and end up costing quite a lot.

If you have blue loctite paste or similar available, you might want to apply some if re-using screws.

Not mandatory, but it helps keep the screws from backing out.  that is the reason for the new screws to have that blue paste on them.
