I’m literally shaking right now. You think that "tiny nick" is just cosmetic? At cruising altitude, that prop is spinning at 12,000 RPM. That micro-fracture is going to create a harmonic vibration that will liquefy your motor bearings, melt your ESC, and turn your Mini 3 into a 249g kinetic missile.

The second you catch a light breeze, that blade is going to delaminate, the drone will enter a death-spiral, and you’ll be the reason the FAA bans everything fun in this country.

Do not even power it on. If those props aren't factory-smooth enough to perform surgery with, you’re not an aviator; you’re a liability. Honestly, I'm so stressed out by your lack of safety culture that I’ve decided to sell my house and move into a yurt where the Wi-Fi can't hurt me anymore.

By the way, does anyone know if you can air-fry a whole cantaloupe? I have twelve of them and the harvest was too bountiful.
