    Lurching and Lag

    My I2 when flying forward will often 'lurch' as if it is about to stop but then continues on. It seems like the sensors are detecting something and it wants to stop but then keeps going, so it is lurching of sorts. This is at elevation, not directed towards sunlight so sensors should not be...

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    Thanks for the thoughts and comments @cougar. Even though I have an extra set of T-motors I'll now be sticking with the stock set up on my replacement. Let me know if you are in need of another set, I have a pair I'm likely going to sell.

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    Thanks. Still find it curious how it disengaged the nut even after backing the screw out so little if the locking ring is there.

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    Great to know, I could not see one from inspecting it from the bottom.

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    And as I just posted, there is no nylon on the screw that I could see. Maybe it's sandwiched on the top of the nut where it cannot be seen, I don't know? But I cannot see any.

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    I just inspected the prop that had failed. The nut is recessed in the bottom but it is not a locking nut of any kind, it is a standard type nut. Also, I just put the screw in to where it would normally sit, it took me 8 full turns, yes 8, to get the screw to disengage from the nut. When I...

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    It was a very unfortunate incident and not having any experience with these props previously, to subjectively have to loosen the screw a bit I'm sure can lead to issues for others as well that also may make them too loose. I also then wondered about the continued folding and unfolding of the...

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    Hard to figure looking at it later, but as you say I'm sure there must be great force and stress on the blade when it's rotating with the craft in the air. Thought it must have been a bird strike first, which would have made the crash a little easier to take.

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    I did recover everything and it was the screw had worked out. Kind of hard to understand why as the screw was still down through the top of the blade mount but out of the hole at the bottom of the mount where the threads are. Given how wide the end of the blade is where the hole is for the...

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    I lost my I2 using T-motors this week. From the factory the blades are very tight and hard to open, so from reading here it is recommended to loosen the bolt a little to make the blades a little easier. I guess I loosened mine a little too much as during the end of my flight I was returning to...

    Inspire CSC after landing

    Great. I have the T-motors and slacked them a little but feel they might still be a little tight. I too was worried about loosening too much and having the screw detach during flight. Being able to see how yours unfold @Florida Drone Supply will be very helpful.

    I have Windows 10 and have had no issues.

    LowePro Drone Guard with T Motor Props

    Temperatures right now are relatively warm for me, around 0ºC or so. I do fly in freezing temperatures, down to -15ºC and have not experienced any real negative impacts on battery life. I always keep my batteries warm inside my coat and get up in the air as soon as possible. I had the I2 out...

    LowePro Drone Guard with T Motor Props

    Very true. I know certain species of birds don't like it, may see it as another bird of prey perhaps.
