Hi,

I have just recieved a replacement Mini 3 Pro after my fly away.  With the new one every flight I get a message asking me to check that I have the correct propellers attached.  Is this normal ( i have checked, they are correct, screws are firm etc).

Regads,
Matt.

Never seen that message in the 60-odd flights I've done with mine, so far.

I had it as well after an update, I think you can select not to see it again.

You got a new unit. It's basically saying for you to give it a once over and check that everything is correctly attached and the props are installed in the correct direction. Mistakes happen and there's a chance someone in the factory didn't tighten up the props or they got installed incorrectly.

I would advise checking over your drone before each flight, especially checking that the motors smoothly rotate all in the same way. Dust and grit can ingress the motors causing friction and potentially jamming them.

That a normal pop up but most people click the "do not show again" box. It's probably because you got a new unit and reset the parameters.

Don't remember every seeing that message.  However, as a part of my pre-flight checklist i do check the propellers before every flight.

Thanks every one, I had never seen it on the original drone only on the replacement.  I started it up again today and this time noticed there is a box saying - don't show this again, I didn't notice it last time, but I also think it wasn't full screen last time and showed all 4 props.  Anyway sorted now.  Thanks again.
