Propellers?

It's correct. A full set of 6 blades is $79.90 + shipping. €19.90 is the cost of one blade.
It's also rare to break the blades, and normally you don't need more than one or two spare.
Otherwise, pilot and/or the drone have some problem
In any case, I confirm what I wrote yesterday: I would not risk my very expensive drone for a saving of $50!
Here is a good comparison:
Average price of a Cessna 172: $110,000
Price of a Cessna 172 Propeller: $5,000
Percent of prop cost versus airplane: 4.5%
_____
Approximate cost of Typhoon H: $1,500
Price of 6 Props: $80
Percent of prop cost versus UAV: 5.3%
So, maybe with this logic the price could be lowered to 4.5% or so. That would be about $67.

just click on skins link above! His price is 20---for a set of 6 GENUINE! props. I have purchased several parts from him. all good,straight forward,allways. He went out on a limb and is a great vendor,and he is doing it because he enjoys helping us YUNEEC Flyers out. I am sure he would not still be in business if he gave his parts away but the price on his original props is very cheap. I just went into his website to confirm this. KC
You're wrong: try to buy a complete set of 6 blades and put it in the cart...
I would callhim and ask what's up. Also let's hope he chimes in in this thread,as he keeps an open eye. Or send him a message here on the forum. Is he currently out of stock as that would be a different issue than price. I know on several sites I have tried to buy parts on the price is always cheaper when they are out of stock. Last set of blades I bought from him were in the 30. some dollar range KC
This was exactly the advice I took when I went to eBay.. I got two complete sets of 6 props for 35 each set before shipping.. I consider that reasonable under the circumstances - and they ARE the genuine article.
Thanks for the advice.

Were these one-offs or someone selling multiple? If you want to refer a seller, that'd be appreciated.
I’m curious about what is so bad about cheap props. Do they break? Is flight control negatively impacted? I’ve had some that seemed to work fine on my Q500 4K, but I don’t want to risk it if the props are problematic. Thanks
Yeah they apparently are known to break mid flight.
Check out this thread, it's very informative in general.

There is a Finite Supply of OEM Typhoon H Props... They are Priced to Force Buyers to Buy only what they need... No other Venders sell them individually...
I have to say, even though I really do not like buying props for $79 for a set + shipping, I actually really do appreciate knowing that buying from you, we’ll get the real deal and not some cheap substitute.
So frankly, thanks for that service. Appreciated.
I have found original Yuneec props for the H at the following website Leicester Drones (IN the UK) around £24 = $30 excluding shipping for 3 props A or B both are the same price, so John@Yuneecskins prices are about the same -
Appear to be one offs.. he was selling New-Old Stock...
