Sorry to hear about your crash. I and several others were drawing attention to these DJI props failing some months ago and nothing was done. I can only conclude that DJI are a very, very foolish company for not addressing this issue. If they have addressed it, I certainly have missed it...

I think I read in the DJI manual that flying weight is between 800gs and 1.5Kgs I fly fpv inc go pro in skeleton housing, fatshark 600mW xmitter, Spektrum 8000 receiver at a weight of 1.2Kgs. I get 7 minutes from 3s 2200 lipos and it flies great. I find anything lighter and it won't come down...

Cheers Elliott, that clears up the lack of DJI resellers but yes, we went to gogohobbies last week for some bits and although they seemed very much into rc cars & trucks, they were very helpful on the plane side. We're in whistler right now but back in Anmore next Wednesday. It would be good to...

I'm visiting Anmore near Port Moody right now and am trying to get my son Philip (25) who lives there, linked up with some local hobby stores for fpv and DJI 450 stuff but we can't seem to find any. My lad and I had his Icon A5 with Gopro out on Buntzen Lake last week and the footage was great...

Bernd, Bison is right. What you're experiencing is to be expected. Just imagine the downdraught from four rotors and the turbulence those rotors cause beneath your quad. Well when you descend straight down, you're descending into and through very turbulent air and whilst the NAZA is good at...

Woa, that duff response from Terry at DJI has made me put my credit card back in my wallet.

I believe you Torque but that's the problem, some have seen probs and others have not. And it's quite simple, the prop blades either shear off or they don't, there's no intermittent problem to solve but after it happened to me 3 times I had to do something. I now fly Graupners, they have not...

I can't believe the amount of denial surrounding these DJI 10" & 8" props. I have had 3 blades shear and it is definitely caused by a badly designed/engineered prop. And it's nothing to do with over tightening either. I have no complaint with the DJI products as such but the props are...

I wish you well in getting things back on track over there, good luck. Re the Immersion - yes I became aware yesterday that both of my Immersion 600mw xmitters get quite hot but mine are mounted on top and therefore I hope there is enough airflow around them whilst in flight. Rangewise, I've...

Only joking haris, if you think you've got problems, we've got to have a sense of humour here in the UK right now. Our government don't know what to do either. Anyway, as has been confirmed, the manual states 800g to 1.6Kg. To be fair, if there is any wind and it only weighs under a kilo, you...

Haris, how can you afford a 450 etc? We're being told you guys are out of money he he

If it has flown and hovered successfully, I can't see how a prop can possibly be on the motors in the wrong order. I suggest getting it back on the PC, read from the NAZA and see what the settings are. My money is on a NAZA issue and not props but I wouldn't fly it until you've checked it out...

The hub diameter of the failed ones is this - 14.1mm Bearing in mind the centre hole is 8mm not taking into account the flats. I have measured the part where the blade meets the hub and it essentially is at right angles and forms an approximate rectangular area measuring 11.47mm x 3.3mm...

Silas, I'll check tomorrow for you. It's a quarter to two in the morning here and I'm tired out. I'm keen to help you avoid the probs me and others have had. Having said that, I think the rest of the DJI kit is great. Anyway, I'm off to kip.

Nell, The graupners you are getting are certainly more expensive than the stock DJI props but anyone can see the quality difference. I can't understand why people, including DJI, can't see the issue here. These stock props 8" or 10" are simply coming apart in normal unstressed flight...

Graupners arrived today - 1326.10x5 Fantastic quality but they're like razors. Put a 3S 2200 through and it flies great and hopefully any crashes now will be down to me and not the props disintegrating. I spoke to a DJI reseller in the North of England today and the chap says he hasn't heard...

I'm on about 10" ones too. It begs the question, how can we identify the "new strengthened prop" as opposed to the old crappy ones that shear off in normal flight. The annoying thing is that the DJI 450 with NAZA is that stable it's difficult to crash and all my crashes have been due to props...

That's interesting Rick, but all they have to do is fly one themselves for a bit and sooner rather than later a blade will just shear off. I've had engineer friends of mine look at it and they reckon poor quality plastic and duff design. They focused on the clean shear of the prop, flush with...

On my 450 from Geoff's Quadcopters.co.uk, I've had a blade snap on three separate occasions in very docile flight. I'm wondering, has DJI been approached re the stock prop problem. With such a widespread obvious fault, I'm surprised that DJI are not involved with a solution, i.e. a better...

Sorry Ian, apart from this being a lesson to anyone else buying "cheap" direct from China, I have to say as a holder of a PPL, you will be used to checklists and it seems that the, albeit random instructions, for the NAZA and Flamewheel haven't been followed. And did I see in the photo's that...
