There´s a lot of different props out on the market/ebay. If you don´t buy DJI props, which props are good and which are bad?
1xCW & 1xCCW DJI props cost $19 in Sweden :shock:

The question of a very wise man!moe3754 said:Why would you spend so much for a quad and then try and go cheap on what is most important to keep it in the air? :?

ExtraKim said:Back to the props, I know well how it works in China when it comes to caraudio and same the factorys builds products for different brands and there's only small cosmetic differences between then but the pricetags are often miles apart depending on what brand you buy. This made me guessing that the same goes for props.

Then go ahead and buy the cheap ones and write back when you wreck your bird... :roll:
It sounds like you haven't seen all the software that NASA developed to design wings and other airfoils. Either that or you're just trolling. In a rotorcraft the "props" are actually "rotary wings" which are wings which are airfoils, which people still have to test with physical wind tunnels and smoke because they don't know enough about aerodynamics to write a perfectly accurate computer simulation of fluid (air) dynamics.ExtraKim said:Props are not rocket science, it's just some plastic with a built in nut.

So someone spends at least 10s of thousands of dollars if not 100s of thousands to design something and they expect to have a patent on it so they can at least recover that cost if not make enough to justify the effort, not have all that engineering stolen. If people are angry then it's possible they do engineering work or other work they can only get paid for because of intellectual propety laws and now you seem to be saying that you effectively want to conspire with counterfeiters to steal all of that, even if only for your own personal use.ExtraKim said:The time and research behind the props might be rocket science, but the manufacturing isn´t. Do you realy think that just one factory in the whole world are able to make them? First of all, how do you know that DJI just use one factory? Second, it´s not uncommon that factorys in China makes both the "original" and the "fake" and sells the "fake" on the side.
