Yes I found those too. They look really cool but they're not very efficient. The response isn't as good as a 3 or 4 blade prop.

LOL Trollhammered, that video is so funny Big Grin

IMO 6 blades except giving you massive amp draw it won't do anything else Big Grin
if you feel like your flight time is too long, then consider using hex blade today Smile

it is way Overkill. They're all just for show. I ordered some. I didn't like them. They are battery killers. So I made Tri blades out of them. I will never buy those again

yah I bet, you were probably getting that less responsive feel cause it was taking longer for your motors to spin them back up once you finished a moved and tried to throttle back up.

that's so true. My split s was sloppy. Responsiveness was CRAP. Think I'll stick with my trusty tri blades.

I read in some forum post that people were getting these and then breaking off 2 blades to end up with a V on either side and there were supposed to be working well, but I think I will stick with my tri blades. I haven't even tried the 4 blades, so I'm no where near 6 blades.

yea I would avoid hex blade Smile Quad blade is pretty much the limit IMO... even that isn't very efficient for most mini quad motors..
