Other propellers for P4?

[Kjetil1974]

Is it possible to obtain 3-blade propellers or folding propellers to P4? And if, where I can in that case obtain these?

Even if you can find them, you really don't want them.

Google and hope for the best.... they are unlikely to provide any noticeable performance increase and youbstand a good chance of spectacular failure. Plenty of posts around here, worth a search.

Hmmm should have more lifting capacity

Hmmm should have more lifting capacity

Why?

More blades = less efficiency

Tri-blades and beyond were born out of necessity to reduce disc diameter.

Beyond that there are penalties to be paid.

Don't assume more = better.

I realize that the P4 is a different beast than the P3, but have a look at the P3 forum. Someone just tried a three blade prop and it didn't work out well for him.

Lifting capability is limited by the motors, you can't go beyond the motor ratings. Also you need to match the torque speed characteristics of the props with the motors to get good results in the entire operating range.

It is really not worth trying third party unmatched props, you have a risk of crashing your aircraft.

What's wrong with the DJI propellers?

Probably the same thing that's wrong with 4 pot brake callipers without red paint or an exhaust system without chrome tips....
