    Where does everyone buy there props from?

    Hi all, I'm a pensioner looking to buy replacement props for my Mini 4 Pro after a very lucky altercation with some power lines the other day! I think I would prefer to stick with OEM props. Any suggestions as to the best deals? I'm in NSW. TIA, John
