The recommendation is to change them immediately if any damage is detected, otherwise, every three months, assuming typical use. Presumably this covers the risk of micro-stresses that may not be easily detected, and, in any event, replacing $10 props instead of a $1000 drone makes practical sense to me.
Unfortunately, changing the props every 3 months will not offer you 100% protection from micro-stresses (if that's even a documented problem). You'll be much better off if you learn how to inspect the props and make sure you actually do it prior to each flight.
As I noted above, props can fail even after less than one month of use. So, don't get fooled into thinking that extra $10 you're shelling out is going to save your $1,000 drone. |
