How do I know when it's time to replace my prop? Right now, most of the paint is intact, a little scuffing along the leading edges. There are several very small... perhaps less that 1/16" dings. No noticeable vibration.

What criteria do I use to decide to replace it?

Thanks

its really upto you if you want to replace it... the more banged up it is the more performance youll lose.
Its hard for us to tell you if it needs replacing without looking at it but a view bumps in the blade(tips) shouldnt make too much of a change

Vibration would be my 1st priority and pride in my rig would be second.

Just have it repaired, prop shop can fix for less than replacement and make it like new again.
