Do I have to remove front propellers when not in use?

[callahoohoo]

When I received my Mavic, the front propellers weren't on. They were in a separate bag. Presumably for shipping/storage. So I put them on for use of course. But when I store it / transport it, do I need to remove those propellers again?

Thanks for your time!

No I keep mine on
I have a hard case with foam cut outs and I don't feel the props need to come off

I think it's best to keep them on as you have more chance breaking them everytime you remove them

Nope. If any props would need to be removed, it would be the rear, IMO, but DJI don't mention removing them at all and their videos imply storing with all 4 props on. Just make sure where you store them that there's nothing to snag or press hard against them.

That said, do remove them from time to time to inspect them with a critical eye as well as the motor tops and springs. I do this about 1/week when I'm flying a lot.

Thank you for the quick answers! That sure is good I don't have to keep doing that.
