Cheerson lost prop

Published 2014-07-30
This is what happens when the prop nut comes off. I think I shall be investing in some nylock nuts.

No damage to the GoPro, but the gimbal had pulled itself apart and the frame was pretty shattered, no electronics damage I could find though.

2 hours, a bottle of superglue and some work with a soldering iron and it was back flying again, you can hardly see the joins!

Interestingly I found the prop nut in the yard behind the lorry you can see on the way down, no sign of the propeller though!

    This happened to me when I put carbon fibers blades on. Now I wont talk anything but self tightening blades.

    Are there any theories as to what causes this to happen and secondly how to avoid it with stock hardware?
