Propeller failure midair... TWICE

[bbhood]

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or has some advice? Twice now in the past week I've had what appears to be a propeller shear off or snap mid flight, losing control of the drone as it comes spinning and tumbling down.

At first I thought it was a connection issue and a faulty rth execution, but both times they cut recording to video, shake around and then come spinning down like a bat outta hell.

I'm nervous to fly it now, any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Did you replace all the props after the first incident?

How many hours do you figure you had on those props? There are many reports of prop failures but most are over 150 flights. The last firmware update it told me I had a bad vibration and to check my props. So I changed them out and I had at least 200 flights on those.
Might want to start changing your props more often if you have a large number of flights.

They were just about brand new. One of the legs I had just replaced both of them 30 minutes earlier. I'll look into the vibration issue and have contacted parrot support to see what they say. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll report back if I figure anything out.

Appears to be? Although it won't help you, giving the rest of us a description of the break and a photo of same would be valuable to us.
