Barring any physical defects such as chips, deformations, cracks, imbalance, or loose/stripped threads, there's really no reason to replace them.
I have a broken prop that was a result of a crash at a beach. Apart from a broken tip, the hub was structurally intact. I tried breaking this prop at the hub by twisting the two blades in opposite directions with my hands and really, it's solid. I can't imagine how this can break off in flight without it hitting anything. I suggest you guys try destroying an old one just to see how well-made genuine DJI props are. Though I can't comment on non-DJI props as I haven't used aftermarket ones long enough.
To me, it's more important to have a thorough pre-flight inspection of everything (including the props) rather than blindly replacing them and trusting the new props to be free from defects. You don't change your tires every few weeks, do you?
But if your resolve is to replace them on a regular basis, it's really up to you. I just think it's unnecessary for the reasons I mentioned.
Just my opinion. |
