I think on the P4P 2.0 there is a new addition to prevent this from happening and yes, you can fit them without the latching in fully, certainly with the P4P v1, I don't know about 2.0. I ALWAYS press in the latches, push in fully and then let go, then i try to remove it without pressing in the latches, do that has not failed me once, i do sommat similar with the props after losing one prior to take off.
Once I've fitted the props, I hold the motor and try to twist and pull the prop away (do not push though) and there's no need to do it hard, if its not fitted correctly it will just come away, once i know i cannot pull them off i then hold of the ac and look at the gap between the props and the motor to make sure they are all the same size. I do these religiously and sometimes i will check the battery up to 4 times before i let it take off.
Once in the air i will then lower it to about 6ft and i will then proceed to do quick and short stick movements, both sticks in all directions except for CSC. If it doesn't drop and performs as it should, only then do i let it go.
With the mini the is no need todo the battery check nor the prop checks other than to quickly run my fingers over them, if they are clean then its good to take off and do the stick dance, its so much quicker to fly than the P4P sorry, I'm waffling, just letting you know what i do to protect my AC's |
