Advantages/Disadvantages to Carbon Fiber Props

Seriously guys, it has nothing to do with who makes the prop, what it's made out of, or what's stamped on the side. The only thing that matters is balance. If you're unfamiliar with the concepts behind prop balancing, watch this video:

There's nothing magic about DJI props. One poster commented that they're thinner and weaker. Maybe. The awful props I tested were within .25g of the DJI props, or about 2%. That's not really an appreciable difference. The major problem they have is that they're not balanced.


I completely agree with you. unbalanced props are the cause of issues. thickness, and pitch won't affect significantly the flight behavior unless it's a radical difference. well balanced props are the key to a smooth flight. with OEM props it's hit or miss...
