I just picked up a F550 Hexa about 2 weeks ago. I have had 4 of the 6 included DJI props explode. 3 on the ground at spin up, and one in flight at 30 feet....I was able to crash-land with no damage thankfully. I threw the rest of the DJI props in the trash and replaced them all. No issues since then with the new props.
This is unacceptable. Please fix the "propblem" and update your customers when it's been resolved, or risk being known forever only for this issue.
Thanks-

That sounds really bad. Can we have some more details.
Where on the prop was the break on the ones that exploded on spinnup (was it at the hub or how far up the blade)?
Were those brand new first flight props, or had they been flown before?
I am just curious why did you continue using those props after they obviously proved defective?
Did they have any visible cracks or dents or did the casting look bad?
