Carbon Props from MK Shop 12 2.8

[BorisS]

Guys I am really impressed by the quality and looks of these Carbon Props from the MK shop. Only issue i have to fit them to the AXI 6mm mounts. I managed slowing to widen them from 5mm to 6mm but i actually cant get the nut down far enough to fix he prop. What would you recommend to get this safe and locked? Check out the video.

amazed by the weight of these props 10 grams. The aerobot give me 18 grams on the same scale.

do you think this is safe ? http://sprealinvest.at/propmount.mov

Hi Boris.. you need to tap the thread a bit further down the shaft. this would be the best way.. otherwise you will need to put a couple of washers under the nut.

hmmm I dont have the skills to do that or lets say it like that i will mess it up, I guess I will bring the prop adapters to a locksmith. Ill keep the washed on for now, for testing. But you are right droider that will be the only way !

Thanks droider got it done and the threads were extended. Now i just flip the AXI motors mount washers and it fits perfectly. No prop slipping etc.

How do they perform Boris?

Where they balanced?

those are the best props i had up to now. 10 to 11 grams on my scale, better balanced than any others. Perfect is hard to say since every balancing is different. And if you go crazy and want the prop to be balanced in every position, horizontal verical 45 degress etc. than its an endless game. I also like the way they balance them. They take little micro bits and pieces out of the blade, taking away material not harming the structure and not adding anything.

Only negative point is they come with 5mm holes i had to drill them to 6mm. Little worried about the structure but 6 flights now with them and no issues.
If they hold, those are the only 12 3.8 props I will be flying from now on !

Ah i just love it. Just put them back on and one of the modded motors mounts brakes. The thread just pealed of for some reason. Damm that could mean the whole weekend it ruined ! ;(
