Last year I bought the Mavic Air fly more package. It comes with extra wings. Why is it that when you get four extra wings, you get four striped wings. I would have expected two striped, and two none striped wings. What kind of logic is this? Is this a packing error on DJI's part? See the attached photo.
What did other people receive? four of the same wings?

And why can't I edit my post? Those things are called propellers, not wings. sorry. There are basically two types of propellers. The Mavic Air need two of both types. And I received four of the same. Is this normal or am I missing something?

Package mistake. I got two of each.

You have left turning propellors and right turning propellors. If all propellors turned in the same direction then the drone would spin out of control. Drones do not have a tail rotor to keep control the yaw of the aircraft, so the yaw controle is done by manipulating the relative speed of the left en right turning rotors. If the left and right turning rotors are spinning at the same rate then they balance eachother out.  If the left turning rotors turn slightly faster than the right turning rotors then the aircraft will rotate to the right.In my case I made the mistake to use the wrong replacement rotor. The result was that my Mavic Air immediately flipped on it side when trying to take off. I think it would be best that DJI would make it phisicly impossible to attach the wrong propellor to the wrong motor, so users cannot make this mistake. Maybe an idiea for the next version of the Mavic.

thank you, that makes sense. Never knew that the props can be inserted in the wrong way though.
