Good Morning,

About a month ago my P3P fell from the sky when the battery shut off so I sent it back to DJI to have it repaired.  I received it back last week and today was the first chance I had to actually fly it.  I did my firmware update to 1.6, downloaded the new app, did all the calibrations and adjustments, and took off for a 20 min flight.  When the aircraft started up it had a new sound but I just thought it was the props, everything checked out on preflight.  After the 20 min flight I discovered the new sound wasn't the props but a small screw stuck to the bottom of one of the motors.  This screw was actually in the motor compartment but isn't a screw that holds it in place.  Below is a picture of the screw and where it was found.  If anybody can identify this screw and where it is supposed to go I would greatly appreciate it.



Thanks,
Jeff

My guess is the magnet grabbed it while being repaired and the tech didn't see it.
