Props on wrong motors. Is it blowing up or down??

Thanks to all Newbie Mistake Aerodynamics require that you install the clockwise and CCW props correctly DUH!!
I found the little slip of paper with the master air screw pops on correctly identifying. larger instruction booklet may have helped

Don't I feel stupid I'm up and flying !!

You should try figuring out carbon fibers not marked on an X8
Someone finally helped me, the prop direction = leading edge (higher side) now I can put them on without help

I did the same thing on my Syma X8 once. Very easy to do if you don't pay attention to "A" and "B". I had a bunch if props (or was it a gaggle?), anyway I only put on 1 incorrect prop and takeoff was impossible.

Because I have mastered the 1st half of the alphabet, it was easy to fix.

Or, the trailing edge always points down.

You should have told him the prop bearings were installed backwards..
