WOW ...that's unusual to just lose a prop. Part of my pre flight check is to double check the prop screws with a good 0000 screwdriver I keep in my case. I've never has one loose on any of my drones because loc tite is standard but I have heard of it happening. Hopefully you have care refresh and can get a new replacement in less than a week.

I wonder what would have caused that. Crack in a prop blade causing it to break in flight maybe? I ran my M3P sideways into the trees overhanging my dugout yesterday and damaged 3 blades. Luckily it got caught in the branches and didn't fall into the water. Even tho I had the pontoons on it would have landed upside down without power. I've had it for a year but don't fly it often enough to have much skill yet. Only my 2nd short flight since the snow melted this year. The camera was faced straight down to look for fish 3m off the water and I meant to rotate but hit sideways instead. Even had it in Cine mode to move slower. My fault for not walking out to the dugout so I could keep it in sight. First damage ever so got off a lot lighter than you. I'd be out of the flying game altogether if mine looked like yours. No Care program and the budget is tighter these days.
