Has anyone tried the self tightening carbon fiber props floating around? I'm tempted to try them but I worry the self tightening part might break or some other issue during flight.

What issues do you have with the standard Vision props?
What problem are you trying to solve?
donniew said:Is there any concern with using CF props ? I've heard they aren't for 'beginners', but it seems to me that the stiffness would take some of the lag out of maneuvering which would make things more forgiving, but I know I've read otherwise. They look cool. Somebody talk me out of this, being a relative noob.
I fly aP2 with lightbridge. I fitted cf props and flew no problem for several months . Then the P2 started surging up and was impossible to control vertically . Had to switch to Atti mode to get the P2 down and even then it was very unpridictable. Did IMU calibration which it needed but this did not improve things. Checked compass connection etc and repeated flights but impossible to fly . Was about to strip everything down and see if the IMU was loose but thought I'd just try a set of standard of DJI. Props. The difference was unbelievable the P2 was back to normal. I inspected the cf props closely , couldn't see anything wrong. No chips, cracks or damage. Cannot work out what happened but really surprised that the props were the problem
So the theory is that DJI props are a little flexible for a reason?. It would make sense, that stiffer props (like a stiff suspension on a car) would make for a harder ride.
If the flexibility in the prop is partly responsible for fluid motion then I'd have to stay with the OEM props.
