Post what non-factory props you are using, and if you needed any special adapter or trimming, and if the flying characteristics changed at all.

I just ordered a set of graupner 8x5 e-props. I'll let you know how it goes...
 
Any updates on them yet or is the shipping slow like here ?
 
I recently purchased and received DJI 8 inch replacement props from http://rchobbyhelicopter.com/
The props are identical to the original Phantom props other than being black instead of white. A set of two
props 1CW and 1CCW lists for $4.75. The only catch is they require a minimum $35 order. I purchased
extra motors .... can't have too many spare parts. I hope this information is helpful. By the way service
and shipping was great. Keep em flying!

Those same props are only $3 here, no minimum order necessary (I think shipping was about $3 as well)

I've purchased a few sets, they're 100% perfect replacements, just in black.

I've seen the same props also being sold elsewhere in 8-packs for about $15.
 
The second number is the pitch of the propeller. It is in the same units as the diameter. So a 9x4 is a 9" diameter and would move forward 4" in one revolution. Think of it as kind of like a thread pitch on a threaded shaft. If you turned a nut on the shaft one full revolution it would move 4 inches.

It makes perfect sense, thanks for the explination.
