Just picked up two sets of these DJI Phantom Carbon Fiber Propellers from Emodels: http://www.emodels.co.uk/plastic-kits/p ... 42956.html although a little pricey.

not graupners bro. graupners are in a league of their own, super rare, but best props in market IMO. :!:

I'm flying the graupner 9x5 props, flies like a charm. They're tall enough to clamp tight between the stock prop nuts and base, but I must admit to a slightly less comfortable feel because of the lack of a shaft key hole. Might switch to nyloc nuts for that. Reamed them using a column drill.
Can't tell what difference it's gonna make towards vibrations, was already using a damper before switching to the graupners.

Did anyone need to modify the props? My 9x5" Graupners came in today but they don't fit, the hole is too small.. :?
I just got my new Vision 2 Props, incredible. Feels like nitro, though a lot noisier when flying low. It seems the best way to go is the Vision props, lighter, better and much stronger.

It's a well known fact that you need to deem out the holes of the Graupners to make them fit a Phantom/dji motor.
- you might also need to use washer underneath so the prop nut will be able to tighten down enough.
Personally I wouldn't bother with Graupners,. in fact, I bought a set back in April, never installed and just re-sold them on Ebay.
I've gone with APC props, they need to be reamed too, but work just as well - at $3 a prop, much easier to replace/keep spares of.
I'm flying with APC 9x4.5 MR props, and they work just swell.
CF props are easy to damage.
