Flamewheel F 450 parts available

[RTRyder]

I just noticed RCHobbyhelicopter.com has F450 parts listed on the website now, props in both 8 and 10 inch sizes included. Anyone looking for stock props can place an order but I didn't dig deep enough to see if they're actually in stock. If not it at least looks like they're on the way, also has motors and ESCs so it looks like the spares are starting to make their way to the dealers now.

I ordered some 8 and 9 inch Graupners to try on mine, should be here in a few days. I think the 10 inch set that comes in the kit is too much prop for the weight, I haven't been able to fully elimninate the wobble from mine on 10's, just like with its big brother the WKM...

I was slightly disappointed to see that the DJI motors that come with the RTF F450 have those XAircraft style oblong hubs. So now none of the standard props will fit without drilling them out. Why do they do this? Maybe Xaircraft is behind this all and they have a plan to piss everyone off.

Graupner props bolt right on, at least the 10 and 11 inch sizes that already have 8mm centerholes, and I just happen to have a bunch of both!

Allegedly the F450 flys a lot smoother on 8 inch props especially in wind, I'll have to test that rumor once mine get here.

Just an FYI, they have a $25 minimum order. I was looking for 3 pairs of 8" props and could not order until I added more.
