There are only a few ways this can happen. There is the possibility of a factory defect.
First possible way is you had at least that one prop on in the wrong spot. Probably not. Or you'd have all of them wrong to look right just wouldn't make any sense.
Then there is over tightening. And potentially stripping the threads. It's nylon so it's not hard to do.
Could have cross threaded the prop and maybe it felt tight but was barely on. I'm thinking this the most likely.
They are threaded counter to the rotation so in theory they self tighten. Even so I usually snug it up by about a quarter turn max. Maybe even 1/8.
Its never happened to me yet. Hope it won't.

Anyone ever have this happen to them?
My very first flight out of the box, about a minute into it. had it in A-Mode and was headed back to me 6 feet up. Next thing I know it flips and flies straight into the ground for a hard landing(not even a scratch)
Second time happened to today. This time I did auto take off and the second it took off it flipped and crashed into the ground(again not scratch)
Is this some error on my end possibly? Different props and different colors
1st time I had not done an IMU cal yet.
2nd time i took off from a not so level surface. 5-10 degree angle
