I explain how a propeller came off my drone during a flight, how I lost my only drone and GoPro, and why I'm asking for help.

What’s in this video

I try hard to bring you footage that shows the paddle craft I test in their bigger environment, and a drone is a big part of that. I’d put a lot of flight time on this one, even flying passes in the mountains in California to learn the controls and safety features. I checked the propellers twice before takeoff. I’m still not sure what caused it, but a propeller came off. I’m just glad my wife wasn’t hit.

I lost my only drone and my only GoPro. I put my money into buying paddle craft so I can review them without bias, and I’m picking up extra shifts as an RN to keep this going. I hate asking for help, but this sets me way back.
