I found damage in the hub of one of my original P4 props that would probably have caused a crash if not corrected. I had noticed a slight wobble in one of the props just after takeoff while hovering at eye level. I landed it and pulled the wobbly prop off. Looking at the underside of the prop I saw that one of the three spots where the prop latches to the hub was different looking. On closer inspection and comparing the prop to another one, I could see that a piece of the plastic had broken off. I replaced the prop and everything is fine. I'm including a closeup photo of the damaged prop bottom center. It's not that easy to see the damage, but it's there if you study it, located at the upper right.
I keep the P4 Advanced in a hard case that's big enough to leave the props on while stowed. It makes for very rapid deployment. The damage to the prop wasn't caused by repeated mounting and dismounting, but probably by a hard landing or impacting a bush.
