Yet another prop option?

[Bartman]

Just found out that the Graupner E-props I've been waiting for are not in yet and the Xoar order I placed probably won't be filled until late February. I was on hobbyking.com looking for other options and found these

Two bucks for two props! I just might have to try them while I'm waiting for the others although if they're not coming from the new US warehouse then they might take longer to get here than the others.

I know it's a long shot but has anyone tried these?

Regards,
Bart

Interesting, I wonder if you'll see less vibration with 3 blades.

There has been quite a lot of discussion on these and using a mixture on coaxial's, witespy seems to be doing the most testing.

i'm in a bind without props but they ship from Hong Kong so, unless I'm willing to pay $26 for $12 worth of props, they don't help. it's nice to know they're there though in case i get the bug to try another option.

Bart what do you need to get airborne?

APC props are a viable interim solution, I'd use them over EPP or cheap Chinese props anyday. I have a set of APC 11 x 4.7 on the way while I'm waiting for Graupner 11 x 5 left hand rotation props to be back in stock.

P.S. due to Chinese New Year there won't be much of anything shipping from China and Hong Kong until late next week at the earliest...

just heard from the graupner source and the 10" E-props are on an indefinite delay. hmmmmm

Which means the 11 inch probably are as well, now I'm glad I ordered the APC's and stocked up on the 10 x 5 when they were still in stock.
