How do those props perform?

Awesome! I've been running them on a few various quads over the last month or so, and I like them quite a bit. They do best on low-mid kV like 2300-2400kv, and larger stators. They handle quite nicely, though the very high advance ration makes them a bit slippery at low throttle in tight turns. Not as bad as the 5051 or the Avans though. I found them easier to tune than the Avan, and not nearly as hard on the battery as the 5051, as well as better in a larger range of angle of attack. They don't have quite the low end of the 5152, but they are significantly more durable and have a bit more top end speed. Overall a really good prop, I'll probably using them a lot more.

Thanks for the mini review! I'll have to pick up a set. I've been stuck in the dark ages as far as props go and need to try something new :)

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
