I'm looking at this: YUNEEC TYPHOON H480 to DJI P 2 3 prop adapter by BafcStudios on Shapeways (probably the steel option, as I raise eyebrows at the thought of putting that much stress on plastic or nylon, or am I being overly worrisome?
and this: 4 Set 9443 3-Blade Self-locking Folding CW/CCW Propeller Prop for DJI Phantom 2 | eBay
... Those are 9443 vs the Maytech 9660. Not concerned over the .2" difference in diameter, but the lower pitch is annoying. I'd have to find something closer to 9660: consider this link for idea reference.
Another thought was to put a thick washer under every other prop to raise it slightly above its neighbors, to allow slightly larger props without risking them striking each other. Would definitely play with this on the bench to make sure of thrust/load/current parameters before actually flying with it, as I would not want to burn out ESCs or motors. Hoping to come up with a combination that reduces battery draw and/or makes for a quieter flight.
Anyone yet try any of this? Any thoughts on pros/cons?
I'm currently using Maytech's carbon fiber set (and rotor guards just to be safe). Minor annoyance having to file 5 of 6 for them to fit, and then having to balance them. Luckily, the balance was close and just needed a minor tweak. Once that was done, I became quite pleased with the results.
