Says six monghs right?

Do u believe fatigue by mere centrifuge strains?

Or weather expose uv?

Or the embed hub discontinuity?

Leave well enough alone?

No impact contact by prop means scarless, perfect, right?

Hello, and good day cutis. Thank you for raising this inquiry. A careful drone pilot should be able to use the same propellers literally for years. It is not flighted that damages or limits their life - it is the silly things we do with the models and props getting damaged. Thank you for your support.

Okay
Props do not fatigue materials of its construct so long props do not incur faulted condition as contact, environment extreme chemical contact, temperatures, radiated energies causing materials damages, excessive applied force, and etc, ultraviolet will deteriorate

Thank you for the additional information you have shared with us today. Have a safe and happy flying always.

IMO never had to change props on any aircraft and that includes my spark which is almost a year old now. Unless visibly damaged, prop failure is pretty unlikely although it might be prudent to change props on a regular basis. Thats just my opinion, as it is up to every pilots decisions and procedures on how to maintain their aircraft

In universal o&m, the replacement prescribed interval is determined from failure analysis.

But here, there really is no user abuse (none contact by foreign force other than normal atmosphere).

And that's why this post. None foreign forces, none radiation damaging, none chemistry attack on material (volcano poison gases), then the recommended semi annual swap is overly protective for safeguarding the propulsion workhorse

Alright, I'll give you that. I only do it as a guideline as I have my own operational and maintenance guidelines. Doesn't mean you need to adopt it at all, its just a matter of preference

Boils down to the owner's peace in mind.
The military swaps gear that's perfect.
It's because they don't take chances.
On the other hand, my prior senator pork barreled such readiness thus justifying congressional monies for paychecks all involved.
It's possible this mentality is global widespread includes our drones dji
