Propeller Blades

[skarsten]

Hello All,

I’m pretty new to the drone flying world. I’ve got a question about replacing prop blades.

Other than if damaged, is there a required or suggested time to replace my prop blades?

Thanks in advance for any insight on this subject.

Nope. Each prop only needs to be changed when damaged.

Prior to each flight, carefully inspect each prop for any damage. Look for chips, cracks, or wear -- especially around the hub area (the center of the prop) and the rivets (if you're using folding props).

Great! Thanks for the help.

life span is an unknown variable it all depends on use and flying style plus as @msinger said check them for damage prior to flying they do last a long time if looked after

Thanks for the info and tips.

Plus they are dirt cheap to replace so if you feel happier and fly a lot, replace them once a year.
