The Drone Thread

Perc said:
Speaking of cross-threading, I just swapped all my propellers which meant eight teeiny tiny screws. A couple of them went in really easily and the rest required lots of torque, which I'm hoping is because they had more threadlock on them and not because I ruined the threads in the motors. And of course Phillips screw heads are prone to stripping if you don't do it right the first time.

I haven't tried to remove the props yet. If you're having trouble with the heads maybe invest in some precision screwdrivers just for the drone, then they won't get mashed in general use. The Wera 118019 PH01 screwdriver that I got in the advent calendar set a few years ago is a very precise fit in the prop screws, just tried it now.
 
About a year ago in China during a drone show, some of them started falling

Seems like the next advancement in designs for show drones (or any small drones) should probably be so they float/can land on water.
 
Don’t they need to have a rather large semi-translucent body piece for the LEDs to illuminate anyway? Just make that so it keeps the thing afloat… way too easy I know 🤷‍♂️
