Carbon fiber blades

[Donny V]

I finally had a Sunday off. Anyway I put on Carbon fiber blades on my Q5004k.. I have to say , they made 1 heck of a difference..in overall performance of the bird .. that's all and have a great day..

I found they perform better but not as stable in much of any wind

Use caution when descending with CF props. If the wind is calm, those props frequently cause vortex ring state (VRS).
