I have a QDQ (quick dumb question) concerning changing props on my Mini. The bag of new props contain a total of 4 props (2 motors worth). One set for the marked motor and one set for an unmarked motor. Here's my question: Should I place the sets on the same side (i.e.: one set for a front motor and one set on same side back motor), or on both front motors (or both back motors) from the same package. I'm guessing it really doesn't matter, but just in case it does I'm asking.

This is the first time I'm changing props.

one set will do as you say two motors, it is important that you use the same markings as the ones you take off ,and always put a pair on any given motor, don't just change one prop on one motor even if only one of them is damaged,it does not matter whether you do one front and one back or two front or two back,just make sure they are the same as the ones you are removing , no question is dumb if it helps your drone to keep flying we all had to learn ,and this forum is a great place to do that

Thank you for the quick reply. I didn't think it mattered. I do know that you HAVE to change both props on the same motor. I have picked up a lot of good information from this forum.
