Just got a phantom 3 standard and am new to flying

[CentinalJr]

Hello,
I am a 13 year old young pilot hoping on learning some tips and tricks to flying. I just got my phantom 3 standard 2 weeks ago. I've flew it around 7 times and only crashed once...well actually it was kinda a malfunction, I tapped the takeoff buton and one prop didn't spin and the drone fliped over. The drone was hardly damaged just a chip in one prop. That's all, I hope to learn a lot of tips from this forum thanks.

Make sure you replace that chipped prop.

Bit of a concern why one prop didn’t spin...

Throw that prop out and put on a fresh one. At a few dollars a prop they are disposable. If it cracks or fails in flight is will make an unplanned hard landing. You don't want that.
