After a long time, I got to the quad, with which I have flown quite a lot, it was lying around for a longer time, I didn't have time for it. It flies fantastically, but it has one flaw, it uses T-props. And that is really a problem and really unpleasant and dangerous at the same time.
I don't know about your experience, but all T-props in the 5 inch light weight category that I've tried, whether Gemfan or HQ, always tear in the hub after a while. It is very dangerous to use them. All it takes is the slightest touch of a branch or a thicker stem of grass, and the propeller will crack in its hub. Then just add throttle and the prop will be torn apart. Today, I think it was the fourth piece of the prop that broke like that. Also, when I flew in the winter, the props were all the more fragile.
I took out the bags of new sets of props, 4 bags in total, and examined their hubs with a magnifiers. All, I mean all the pieces had hairline microcracks on the hub, always only superficial, but they were there.
Shit, what is this? I just have a faulty series, or you have the cracks there too.
