0 So I recently bought a boat load of Dal 5045 props. After using all my HQ's I put the Dal's on. I noticed some high throttle vibrations with these props. I just thought my PIDs needed to be adjusted a little so I was taking it easy for the remainder of my flight , when all of a sudden my quad just throws a blade. I thought I might have just hit a branch or something. I replace the broken on out threw another battery on and 3 min into my flight same prop lost another blade. Checked out my quad and everything checked out. Again replaced the prop. Flew for a few min and down came my quad, however a different prop let all 3 blades go !! Has anyone experienced props just breaking at the hub in-flight?

20 when you say "throw" do mean the whole prop came off like the prop nut came off? or just a blade broke off the hub?

2 I did hear of one other report of DAL props doing that exact thing. Turned out the person had knockoff DALs. Are you sure yours are legit?
I've broken arms in crashes that only bent the DAL props.

20 the authentic ones will have "DALPROP" on one blade and the size and pitch on another blade.
