I bought an vapor x5 recently, when i tried to launch it for the first time one of the props just flew right of. I thought i may have forgot to tieten it corectly so i did, all 4 props all using like strong pliers. But still the same problem! I checked if the props were in the right orientation, i checked if the motors rotated the way they are supossed to. But nothing worked another prop just flew of again instantly after trying to take of. Arming works fine, i let it sit whilst armed for about a minute and there were no props flying of.
Thx in advance for any help and tips :)
Switch the motor direction for all motors in betaflight. It’ll fly just fine. You will have to swap the props as well though! Should keep the nuts on.
Flew off or exploded? If you're over tightening props they'll disintegrate. You'll need new nuts to troubleshoot

I just checked i used cw nuts where ccw where supossed to be. I think thats the problem and i am goign to order new nuts both cw and ccw and make sure i use the accordingly to my motor spin direction so that they actually work thx alot
You're welcome. Amazing that Teleport solved it for you😄 Some revision needed on here Stew.
sry but as you commented on his comment this website didnt allow me to credit you only the comment you commented on
@Lyghtz no worries man. It wasn't about you, just a problem with this part of the sites set up, soz. Happy to help on Discord. Glad you got sorted.
I'd focus on hardware over software.
Your prop's don't fly off when your motor directions is wrong, so I think there's something else going on. I'd look at your motor, props (are they damaged/brittle/old) and nut (has the nut glue hardened beyond your usability, are they CCW , CW specific threads and been a mix up ?)combo and how you've been tightening them.
