Couple of people have asked why only Left Rear prop, and not Right Rear prop. Two possibilities, one can be checked by pilots, other requires DJI.
1) Right Rear arm, when folded is closer to MM's body, putting blades closer to body of MM. Going by Zbip57's picture. Whereas, Left Rear arm, folded is further from MM's body, leaving tips of blades to be bent when stored. Possibility owners can check.

Just a small clarification. I put fresh props only on the Left Rear Motor. The Right Rear are still the original blades.
I checked the arms just now and they both appear to fold equally close to the body. But in that photo you can see that the right-side (original) blades do sit closer to the body than the new left-side blades.
Previously, with the original blades on both sides, they nested together easily, sliding over/under each other when stowed. But to stow them crossed now I would need to push down on the tips of the right-side blades to get them to slide under the left-side blades. Or I would need to really push down hard on the left-side blades to get them under the right-side blades.
That is the only visible difference I can tell with the new blades fitted to the left-rear motor. But, the motor overspeed warning has not re-appeared (yet) since replacing those left-rear blades. I've only flown it once since then though. It's raining hard today, so the next flight will need to wait a while.
