I have to wait till I get back home to try them out but will definitely keep u all updated

They will certainly look cool- hard to know what if any performance improvement might be realised. It would be a shock to find these are true rather than FAKE/FAUX CF. All show and no go with an increased chance of failure seems to be the standard for these products.

So there is a definite problem with these props if so I’m not gonna put them on my mini

They might be really good. I have no direct experience with them. My scepticism is purely based on experience with CP RC helicopters. Genuine CF rotor blades were very expensive in comparison to fibreglass or woodies- there were plenty of cool looking blades that were CF lookalike and they were display purposes only. Do they all look like the CF weave pattern is identical on all? You might imagine how hard this would be to do in production.

The reviews have not been kind for that brand. Keep in mind that the carbon blades can do damage to flesh.

 

[LankALank]

Two words for this product BAD *** LOL

 

[LankALank]

I would recommend this brand of carbon fiber props to anyone who doesn’t want there fingers chopped off.because these things wizz around pretty fast

 

[rod goslin]

ALL blades will chop your fingers off. Or at least try to. Anything even mildly sharp at that speed will go straight through flesh

Yes but by the sight and flight of these will probably take it straight off OMG ?

 

[old man mavic]

real carbon fiber gets it strength, from overlapping the weave in different directions and heating it under pressure to bond it together, i would be very surprised if these props are real CF

Might be just a resin impregnated mat, not necessarily interleaved but a lot more rigid than regular plastic props... whether this is beneficial remains to be seen.

I can see the weaves in the prop now as for as how hot they had it I have no idea

Look forward to see how they work for you. Back in the day (stopped flying for 5 years), when I was flying helicopters, then hand built drones, I was using Graupner Props, considered some of the best out there. Anyone tried these on the new DJI Minis? I saw Amazon has some folding versions.

Graupner props for a mini? Link please.

 

[snapdog]

Not sure if they make any that would fit the Mini. But they just might. More research is needed with regards to fit and efficiency. The ones I saw were about two times the size of the Mini props. Hoping someone might know more about them
