Hi All-
Real propeller driven planes have to replace their props at a certain interval (as I was told by a pilot). The materials become fatigued, which changes the flight characteristics. I would think that would apply to our bird's props as well. After all, they are just some type of plastic. I saw a video where the author deliberately cut a portion of one prop off, to see what would happen. Initially, the bird adjusted for the discrepancy, but when enough was cut off, it became uncontrollable and flew in circles despite any input from the sticks. He only flew a few feet off the ground for this test, so no worries. However, if a chunk of a prop came off in flight, I doubt you would get your copter back (at least in one piece!)
