Default Prop angle of attack vs age

:

On older planes, does the angle of attack change ? Does the prop angle
relax like a motorboat prop does after 1 or 2 decades of constant
use ? (fixed pitch of course)

There are some older warriors on the field (20 - 25) years, and it
seems that there props don't have the bite that the new warrior (10
years old) does.


No, but years of wear and dressing the prop because of nicks and what not
doesn't do them any good at all.
