For optimal performance, Skydio recommends replacing your propellers after 250 hours of flight time or whenever you notice any damage.

[warning] Propellers with hairline cracks or large breaks, chops, or bends should be replaced immediately. Do NOT fly Skydio X10 with propellers that are not in good condition as serious bodily harm or injury may occur. [/warning]

Step 1 - Remove old or damaged propeller set

Hold onto the motor with one hand and take the propeller hub in the other. Press down on the propeller hub and twist to release.

[note] You will need to twist either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the motor. [/note]

Step 2 - Identify the propeller set that matches the motor

Match the replacement set of propellers to the color on the motor.

Step 3 - Inspect for any debris

Inspect the motor to ensure there is no dirt or debris.

Step 4 - Install new propeller set

Hold onto the motor with one hand and take the propeller hub in the other. Flip the propeller hub so the opening on the hub aligns with the the motor. Press down and twist to lock in place.

Be gentle and do not force the fitment. If the propeller set does not fit on the motor it might be the incorrect set or side.
