I finally flew my Phantom 1 for the first time the other day. This was after purchasing it early last fall. I made a mountain out of a mole hill and in frustration put it away for the winter. A member suggested I just take the props off and start it up in my living room. I did that and everything seemed to work. Throwing caution to the wind, I put the props on took it outside and got it into the air. I hovered for a second or two then one propeller flew off into outer space and the drone crashed on the driveway. Thanks goodness it was only about 10 feet in the air when it crashed. The drone is fine, but I lost one prop and two of the nuts which secure the props. I consider it was a successful flight because now I have the confidence to try and fly it again.
I have extra props, but no extra nuts. Do I need to find nuts specific to the Phantom 1, or will any nut with the right threads work? Also, if I need extra props, will any of the Phantom props work on my Phantom 1?
Thanks for everyone’s help.
