LOL. I wish it was an April Fool's Day joke.
Now I have to try somehow to escape from work long enough to drive to the complete opposite side of town to buy another set of 9450's, and then spend the night dyeing them again, because tomorrow morning I'm heading off on a trip and want to take the quad along with me, and of course, I want the props to be black again.
My daughter thinks I'm mad, and should just grab a set on the way out of town tomorrow and live with them being white. Silly daughters just don't understand these things
And the shortened props was a run in with a tree branch. I actually thought it was going to stay up in the tree, it got hooked up on the prop-guard (which didn't guard THIS prop very well) and it was touch and go as to whether she was going to come down.
Amazingly, I didn't discover the broken prop when it came down, as it regained flight on the way down, and seemed to be flying just fine, so didn't check it over (big mistake) so I flew it the entire rest of that battery, then swapped out two more batteries and flew them, before discovering the damaged prop as I was packing it all up.
Amazing that it compensated for the reduced lift on this one prop and kept flying just fine.
All this explanation seems to have fallen off the original message. Tapatalk on mobile is a bit dodgy with the new version of the forum at times. I posted via Tapatalk and seem to have lost the text part.
