quick poll, who are using prop locks

jhardway · Mar 11, 2015

I am curious. mainly because a lot thought the issue relied on the possibility that people were not originally tightening down the props enough.

I will be number 1 I use them

I use them...wondering why folks would not. I wish there were prop guards...this thing is really great, it could do some nasty damage to people, etc.

I agree - why not? I use them. In fact I just purchased a second set from B&H for $2.00.

I do! Only takes under a minute to put them on over your tightened props!

jhardway · Mar 11, 2015

like you all, if you have them why not use them, it just another layer to prevent something from happening, I did hear something about a slight concern of taking up a little of the vent used to cool the engine.

Jeremyconk · Mar 11, 2015

I use them...... Too many other things to worry about.... Try to eliminate some of the task loading.....

DK42 · Mar 11, 2015

I will use them once I receive them

Why not is the right question. It is recommended.

douglas · Mar 11, 2015

Came with my craft so I use 'em. Seems silly not to IMHO.

Still don't have any...

We use them and agree that prop guards should be available just in case.

PetePerrim · Mar 12, 2015

Yep, I use them, why not?

douglas.brownlie · Mar 12, 2015

Why wouldn't you use them? TBH though the props haven't moved a bit from when tightened up. On that note, I notice the black ones screw down quite well to about half way then become quite tight to turn on. The silver ones spin all the way down. Is this the same for everybody else?

InspireArnold · Mar 12, 2015

I don't...............................Cann't buy them, because they are not in stock at this moment. BUT when they are in stock, it is the first thing I'll buy.

SkySav · Mar 12, 2015

Part of my pre flight check off list

turbodronepilot · Mar 12, 2015

Did you never receive them? I thought all orders were updated with prop locks.

Kilrah · Mar 12, 2015

It's a bit special, I moved to another country between getting my I1 and the locks being available, so that I never got the ones my dealer has likely sent to my old address.
Didn't find any locally yet, and couldn't be bothered to order some overseas, I'd rather get the new locking props when available...
