Wow, really? -- you spent time repairing chipped blades? Check out youtube videos of "extreme testing" and tell me what difference a chip makes when people demonstrate that half a blade can be missing and it still flies..... You could use these chipped ones and replace at the next best opportunity. In my instace, I took another step to repair the ones I had. I carefully cut pieces from one of the broken blades to match the chip of the one I wanted to repair and superglued and sanded it down ... I'm a mechanical engineer with experience in this field ...
Great answer just replace them .Why take a chance on losing a $1000 investment for a $10 Prop?
I wouldn't if I had spares. There is a video on YouTube that demonstrates that the Mavic can still fly on cut props.
You guys are gonna hate that youtube vid where they basically cut a mavic's props down to ittsy little stubs and the thing still flies. Not saying I advocate that, but a tiny chip at the end of a prop is unlikely to result in a crash. I have a few thousand hours piloting medium and heavy turboprops and you should see how many chips are in our props.
