Props change when?

[Javierz0509]

So I have currently flown 100 miles (54 Flights) with my Air 2s, I have inspected the props and they are in great shape, but when should I replace them?

@Javierz0509 ,that is a question that has been asked many many times here on the forum ,and it is really down to you when you decide to change them ,if they are not damaged in any way,
the life span of the props has a lot to do with where the drone is being flown,whether you use sport mode a lot, and to some extent how they are stored during transit
as long as you do a visual inspection before each flight, to look for any damage and check the hinge points for wear and the locating lugs where they attach to the motor ,then all should be well for many many flights ,what you can do is decide that you will replace them after a set number of flights ( say 100 ) regardless of their condition ,a lot of commercial pilots do this and it is written up in their operator safety manual

A little trick I have used in the past is to shine a blue laser light on the underside of the props. It will help show hairline cracks that we might miss.

Some ppl may disagree I change props both on my DJI and my Armattans when the sound of the prop is not smooth.
If you fly a lot you can hear a change in sound . That being said, if I am just tooling around not such a big deal but with my Mavic if I am doing a long range flight I try to make sure it has the best gear at that time . Props are cheap use them . Save the none damaged ones for "that day " when you are out and want to fly

My 2 cents, depending on how many flights you have within a year. I would say if you have 75 to 100 flights a year, change them out every year. They are cheap and plastic!

That's up to you as long as there not damaged keep using them . I have been using master air screws props there awesome less noise and a little faster ? but it's prefrance good luck

I change them if not damaged, every six months, 100 flights or 20 hours (whatever comes first).

My procedures requires change at fifty hours. You will never get agreement on this issue.
