Hey all

Found these and thought i'd try them, as they look like an exact (cheap) copy of my favourite hq5045.
I haven't recieved them yet, so i wanted to ask around what's your experience with FC Model propellers?

they have been around on Banggood for a long time, I only tried a couple of pairs, they are more like gemfan copies... they seem to be the old ones, which uses ABS (not durable)

Thanks for the info. So i hope they won't explode mid-air on 4s Smile

I was just wondering, i never read anything about that brand... is there a miniquad prop manufacturer list somewhere? Should we make one?

DO. NOT. BUY. THEM.


They DO disintegrate mid-flight. Maybe they'd work for a light fixed wing, but for sure not on a 4s racequad around 600g.

Cost me a Tiger motor, Runcam lens protector, and 1 arm delaminated a bit.

Haha, hope so. Too bad, they would have been exact copies of the hq5045, except at the hub they're sooooo weak...

I should have known before flying, as i even broke 2 while mounting them lol.
