props recyclable ?
#1
Curious to know if we can recycle ? I have a load of broken and unusable props, never thrown any away, can they go in the recycle bin with other plastics like milk bottles and food packaging ?

I want to know as well Smile Asked this a few times in the past and no one seems to be able to answer..
Some of my HQ props have carbon fibre mixed probably not ideal for recycling... but the ABS and DAL might be

Maybe someone could create moulds that would allow us to melt down the props and turn them into something useful?

(Credits go to Bruce from RC Model Reviews) I use broken props for as a spatula for mixing epoxy (after cleaning them of course...). Then straight to the bin.
I do reuse some props as skid-plates on my rc cars, works great as I do have a lot of sparesTongue.


Another thought: If you clip just the ends of the prop you could trim them down to 4" or 3" for your 150mm Quads.

Another tip I've just learned: https://youtu.be/1TeNwwcPXxI?t=29m53s

You may take a piece of a broken prop to protect your ESCs from getting destroyed by durable props.
