> I cant see these being anygood for freestyle or racing due to the extra mass and the fact that alot of that extra mass is toward the outer edge of that props. I would like to see someone like Chris Rosser test these props on a proper test rig. Im sure it would show a reduction in responsiveness on acceleration and deceleration due to the extra mass and higher point of inertia. Maybe theyre quieter and maybe more efficient for long range and casual flying but I wont be jumping on the hype train just yet 😄

So if there is no air flow horizontal to the blade tips, my vtx will overheat.

anybody seen any of these for the DJI Avata?

if found a fine on thingivse… but do I really want to strap them to my avata after printing them in petg… I am a little reluctant

like making a set of home made brake pads for my car or relining my own brake pads … just seems a little negligent if something goes wrong
