Question for the experts!
Today while flying I noticed a sound from my H (480) that I hadn’t noticed before.
Not a rattle but something sounded loose.
Checked all motors for heat to be sure they were all the same, seamed ok.
After checking the props I noticed all 3 black were loose on the locking hubs.
All three black, and only black, had a dusty looking film on the hub & prop.
Yes, I had noticed this prior but not the noise I heard today.
So, I have determined that all 3 black props & hubs have worn and are loose when locked!
Of course I stopped flying for the day but Heads Up inspect your locking hubs & props closely for signs of wear.
By the way my H is only 8 months old.
I escaped a potential catastrophe today, I flew 3 batteries before I determined the source of the sound.
Any suggestions where to order a complete set of props and six hubs.
Not taking any chances going to replace the whites also.
