Hello all,
I am using Phantom 2 vision for ecological research in a rocky area and recently it was fixed and it returned without the propeller shields. I was told that specifically in this model the shields are actually one of the major causes for crashes as a result two central mechanisms: the shields may act as a sail and even small gusts may carry the quad-copter. Also, wind turbulence might be formed as a result of the movement of air through the shields and into the propellers. I was advised not to install the shields in this model in order to avoid future crashes that might end up in severe damage.
On the other hand, I also don't want to change propellers due to every slight touch which may occur when landing in windy conditions or in non-flat areas.
If anyone knows about these propeller shield induced crashes in the Phantom 2 vision, I would very much like to know.
Many thanks,
Ariel
