What to check before you buy
- Diameter and pitch
- Match diameter and pitch to the motor and the thrust you need.
- Motor fit
- Check the hub mounting holes and shaft size against your motor.
- Weight and balance
- Ask whether props are pre-balanced; light, balanced props reduce vibration.
- Folding or fixed
- Folding props save space for transport; fixed props are simpler and stiffer.
- Rotation pairs
- Check that the set includes both clockwise and counter-clockwise props.
- Quantity
- Check whether a listing is one prop, a pair or several pairs.
Carbon fiber propellers FAQ
Why choose carbon fiber propellers?
They are stiffer than plastic props of the same size, which can help efficiency and reduce vibration.
What do numbers like 2170 mean?
Usually diameter and pitch: 21 inches by 7.0 inches.
Are carbon props more dangerous?
They are stiff and do not flex on impact; use guards and keep clear of spinning props.
