I like to have backups, and not worry about getting them at the last minute where you find your supplier is out of stock, and by the way, with the new quick release prop system, the adapters wear out during normal use, and so will the props.
The manual says to check for any play when the prop are installed, it shouldn't have any side to side play. Meaning you would hold the motor and try to rotate the prop CCW and CW and if it moves then the adapter Must be replaced and also the Props.
So in the end this new Quick release system for the props, is a wearable item. Not saying I'm going to crash it or hit the props on something, its more for stocking up on the parts you WILL need to replace after so many flights, better to be safe than sorry, having to wait a week for a replacement part.
At $10 for a pair of any of the quick release props, (Yellow or White striped look cool when spinning) its cheaper to order a bunch and $4 for a pair of the quick release mounts and pay for the shipping once.
These props are going fast, i ordered all of mine and the next day Heli Direct that is one State away from me (which is why i use them ill get the parts next day) are already out of stock of all 4 different DJI Quick Release Props and Mounts.
So really its just for my personal stock, just like many other things i have incase something happens. I can fix it and be back flying in no time... |
