Remove the props and check carefully for any damages /broken pieces inside the motor.

If it's just the paint I wouldn't bother changing the props.

I just checked and it doesn't seem to have any damages or broken pieces inside the motor, thanks you for your help.

Hi, I think it is fine since it is just a small scratch but if you have extra propellers it is better to change it to be sure. Is there another part of the drone that is damaged?

Good to hear that the drone did not crash. As mentioned above, do not use the drone indoors to prevent this kind of incident. Avoid flying in areas where the GPS signal is weak and flying in confined spaces,

Indoor flight is a killer, was flying in a gym and accidentally hit the home button. $150 repair bill later, I learned my lesson. Although, my accident might of been prevented if I had prop guards on. As for blades, I would check for motor damage and then just replace the blades. Blades are inexpensive and you don’t want them to fail mid flight.

Paint scratch on the, end of the blade,, no problem.. Damage at the root of the blade then requires blade replacement!,
