Can anybody explain that phenomenon ? After a few years of flying and several craft I have noticed that more often than not my 'R' props break. Can I change directions so I can burn through some of these spare normal props? =]
Why does this happen? Is it just me?

Guys , its for exactly the same reason a buttered piece of bread always falls with the butter side down!!
I really think its coincidental.
I crashed my hexa this weekend, broke 1 cw and 2 ccw props.
When i flew my copter into a tree the branches snapped both ccw blades and forced the locks off of the CW blades. I just figured that because the rotation left no room for give the plastic props snapped.
Yeah I break those 2 or 3 to 1. I bought some cheap standard GWS props to use in place. I also bought a bunch of cheap props from RCTimer.

Yes, I've also noticed the asymmetrical nature of prop breakage. But, I fly mostly in + mode, and most of my crashes are either in the front or back. One would suspect that X mode should have symmetrical breakage.
