Hello all,
This new thread is in NO WAY NEGATIVE toward DJI.
After coming back from my vacation from Hawaii to Colorado, I went to go fly today. I did the compass calibration, then put on the props (took them off to travel) and then took off like normal and let it hover about 2 feet off of the ground so I could go through all of the parameters before I starting flying...then it dropped like a brick! Stoot there wondering what in the heck happened...then heard something hit the ground behind me. DANG IT!!! The front left prop flew off because of my stuppidity!! I did not double, tripple or quadruple check that all of the props were LOCKED in place. The interesting thing is, when it flew off, all of the moters stopped. I am not for or aggenst this, just think it was interesting (and, no, I did not do a CSC as I checked that afterwords and I had one hand operating my tablet going through the parameters).
Needless to say, I need to send in the Mavic for repair. Thanks GOODNESS I have the DJI Care Refresh and should be no cost to me. I have all ready started the online repair procedure and have my case number (CAS-515163-S4T1M2).
The whole point of this thread to to share my experiance with (especially the newbies) you all to double, tripple or quadruple check that all of your props are not only on, but locked in place before each flight.
UGH! I'm so disapointed in myself, and bummed that I can not fly for about a month. lessoned learned.
