Had some good flights of our Phantom 4 over Easter in Wales. On one occasion I didn't put one of the propellers on properly by accident - I caught it on film below in slo-mo (at about the 3min mark in the vid, sorry can't work out how to get it to skip to the relevant part).
It basically launched vertically by itself, must have gone quite high and slowly came down at the back of the shot. The P4 itself was ready to take off by this point, and ended up flipping over onto the road surface. Some scratches on one of the motors but apart from that no damage. Will definitely be double-checking this in the future, the propellers are kind of 'quick-fit' types not like P3's which I gather are self tightening. Also thinking about getting some sort of rigid fold out launch-pad as had a few occasions where flipped on landing - any suggestions?
