Just installed prop guards and it looks too close due to the angle of the props on one end of the guards. Haven't fired it up yet. I'm sure it will be fine while on the ground. Anything to worry about once it is airborne? Is this the same for everyone who has prop guards?

The closest my are is about 1/2", I would think if it's at least 1/4" it should be ok.
 
As a extra pro for mine, I got red ones for the front and white for the rear. Helps with knowing which way is front if the app starts to misbehave.
 
Just though of one more con, they get into the video frame anytime your moving forward at a fast rate of if your going into a head wind. Have had some nice shots, and here comes that red guard in the shot.
 
I think you can set a gimbal limit? I haven't looked for it yet.
