Default damaged prop

I glanced something this past weekend and bent about 1/4" from the edge of one blade of my prop. The other 3 blades have some dings on the edge but looks minor. Prop is a bravo one 4 blade 22P. My question is can this be fixed or should I just buy a new prop? Drive seems to be ok, not making any noise and case does not look like it was hit, should I have someone take a look to see if something broke anyway?

Sounds like there should be no problem fixing your prop. From your description it would be considered minor damage. It is very cost effective to repair your prop. After repair it should actually be better than it was when new.
As far as your gear case, I doubt it was damaged due to the impact of the prop.

So long as the ear isn't missing, the prop can be fixed.

Any suggestions on where to send my prop to have it repaired? I live in Northern Virginia. Would be nice if there is someone local that is good.

If you end up mailing it throttleup (post2) is local to me in the Tampa Bay area and is top notch.

I didn't even notice that post 2 came from a prop shop. Any discount to OSO members?

sonicator,
We ship and receive props everyday around the world. We work with a lot of customers in the Virgina Beach area. It's only 3 days by UPS ground from you to us.
After we take a look at your prop we can give an idea of what the cost will be. Or, give us a call and we can give you a real good idea over the phone what the cost would be.
