Not at all. 900 feet is nothing.Straight up, especially that high, is really bad for maintaining a signal.

Another crash with the carbon fiber props... That's it, I'm pulling mine off. Seems like quite a few accidents happen with them and though I haven't had a problem with them, I do pay a lot more attention to them then I do the standard with yellow tips that I have. I've been on the fence about pulling them off for a while but it feels like the right time has come
On the picture i see carbon props?This crash was with factory props installed. The OP mentioned he had a previous crash with CF.
Sorry I replied to the wrong thread.... My badOn the picture i see carbon props?
Yea, but Blue one's would look better@BigAl07 No problem
@Reed L Are you serious? They look too good to take off
@madmandrews Sorry for your loss, i wonder why that prop came off, if that is what happened.
I learned that you can buy the aircraft alone without a charger or remote for pretty cheap. I think it is like $550 on the DJI site. I would just get a new one and keep that one for parts. That is what I did after a similar crash. IF you think about it these drones are pretty durable! After a fall like that I would expect a lot more damage. Usually my battery pops out in a crash.
It looks like you could repair that one but the cost of parts might exceed a replacement aircraft. I have replaced 2 bodies and it was pretty easy, just took a few hours. I haven't torn apart a camera/gimbal yet but it looks fairly straightforward.

Just guessing but pretty much sounds like you lost a prop (either it came off, struck something, or shattered).
As far as what could have caused this, one prop (DJI carbon fiber) was completely missing - possible catastrophic failure? I had just tightened them before take off and had made no sudden or braking maneuvers - just straight up.
Do those CF props have metal threads?

Why would you think that? The only thing you would have to do is turn your antenna facing up instead of out if you have a weak signal. Even if you lost signal, the failsafe would kick in and it would just land.
No issues at all.

I've never bought CF props, but I heard to never use props with metal threads on P3 craft. Do those CF props have metal threads?
