Where to get TH propeller guard in U.S.?

Manny D · Mar 13, 2017

The only place I can find the Typhoon H prop guard in the U.S. is B&H. Can someone recommend another place. Preferably without a huge shipping fee.

I tried to just get it at Yuneec but there is no search available to input the part number and couldn't find it anywhere on the web site. Anyone have a direct link to it on Yuneec' site?

Yes I bought a set from Yuneec and also got extra set from Vertigodrones they were the same price. I like using them but they won't handle a high speed crash ,that I know first hand LOL

Yea, I don't expect it to save my H from a catastrophic crash but I'd use them if flying through trees or indoors, especially for indoors. I won't fly indoors without prop guards.

Just call their cust service number and place the order. Any part number for a Yuneec product, they stock, and will sell. Their site only shows minimal parts. I ordered those and some extra parts to get free shipping.

I received a set of Typhoon H guards from Amazon made in China.....need I say more? They are the snap on or should I say snap off, very brittle and they block the lights! This set of 6 must have been returned since I found a broken tab in the bag they came in. Sold for $22 I just boxed them up to return to Amazon Prime.

I put mine on once and never again. A real pain in the butt if you're using a backpack case for the TH. It was a motivator for me to get much better on the sticks and to fly in wide open spaces until I got better at the controls.

Thanks for sharing I was wondering how would they be to have to keep installing and uninstalling for the backpack!!!!! I thought it would be no good.

Better off investing in 2 spare sets of props... you'll need them at some point.

I won't use prop guards...not ever. Some years ago when I first got into multirotors I installed prop guards on to a P2V and for reasons I won't go it to here, having those prop guards on was the cause of a crash on its fourth flight.

I've only ever had prop guards on once since then (on a P2V+) when I was doing my Operational Assessment for the U.K's PfCO. IMHO they are far more trouble than they are worth...just buy and take with you some spare props.
