Dig I'm watching a few of the wooded props on ebay. Do you use a washer with your and you said they weigh the same as the stock plastic one?
XOAR DJI Phantom 3 / 2 Vision / E300 Beechwood Propeller Props 9450 (2 Pairs)

Yes, I do run a washer with them. They are not the same weight as stock, they are about 4g more than stock in the end. Here's a weight comparison i did, i weighed the washer and nut together for these measurements.

and lots of pics here: Xoar Beechwood Propellers Review / Details (Pics, Video's, Logs, Weight)

here's the amazon link to the ones i got (same price as ebay, same seller too): Amazon.com: XOAR DJI Phantom 2 and Phantom 3 Quadcopters Beechwood Propellers (2 Pairs). 9.5 Inch 2 Blade CW CCW 9450 9560 Props Upgrade for DJI Phantom 2 Vision, 3 Standard, Advanced, Professional, and E300: Toys & Games

I think really that is not bad of a weight difference. Did you notice any difference with vibration
 
Hey dig is it quieter or louder with the Xoar props?

Did you notice any difference in vibration with the wood props on

Nothing noticeable in the video I have taken, it's firm and no noticeable wobbles or vibrations. When I'm flying with weight (batteries), it actually seems really stable.

I was asking because I've been told with the CF props you get more vibration seen in the camera. and as dry as it is here I would not thing humidity would affect the wood props. You being in Oregon would of notice that I would thing.
Thanks

wow! makes me wanna invest in a p2! thats a great run.
Dig I'm amazed what distance you're getting. You are kicking out some long flights. I would be afraid of what you would do with a pair of CCp's or even better a Terminator.

I'll try and get a video up of the wooden props in high winds I took this evening. They held extremely well, and we're super smooth. It was dusk. So I gotta do some playing in premiere to get the light proper. But it's super smooth, absolutely no vibration. The wooden Props seem to cut through the high winds better.

And, I'm amazed at the distance as well. And they aren't fancy windsurfers heh.. Paid $15 on Amazon for them, and use a rubber band to keep aligned. I think a big part is my spot, slight hill out over some farms. i do pretty good at the lake too. At this point, my range is outpacing my horizon 5200 battery. I have a sneak attack coming though and hope to be running a pair which can match the multistar 5200. I've been eyeballing other antennas ... But it's really fun and challenging with just the windsurfers. Maybe soon, I think I want hdmi first to setup a mobile station.

Alright guys the results are in on the re-worked CCP's. DB did a flight. he used smaller batts but could have kept going!!! This is from DB below.

Pro's ccp's performed flawless! I had perfect signal and 100% bars the entire trip. The signal score in the HD shows a couple issues in a certain area where I climbed up and over powerlines but I did not notice signal issues during the flight. Could have went further w/ bigger bats.

THANK YOU DB FOR TESTING THESE FOR ME!!!!!!!
 
This may be a really simple/dumb question, is there anyway to do an antenna mod so I can still use stock antennas, just plugin the added larger antennas when wanted? Or, is it an either or situation? Part of me wants to play with some ccps, but I really like the challenge of stock antennas with windsurfers. I have thee distance bug, but would prefer to not have to pull out the big guns all the time. Thanks!

Dig I'm glad I'm not the only people thinking that way. I have my P2v+ that I've been playing around with and then I have my P3a still all stock but I slide on the wind surfer. I think the best way would be get a second controller mod one and leave the other stock. That is what I've done with my P2v+. Even with the stock single dipole on it with a wind surfer on the controller I can get 2.5 miles on some days. That is with bird eyes antennas on the drone.
