Yes, I also fly a mini using 5045 props with DJI NAZA FC. I had to crank the pitch/roll gains waaaaay down.Then again, 5045 props still work on my mini's, quite inefficient, but it gives good speed, so ..
That is what I'm thinking. It may help if you are carrying and extra battery or two. Not as much flex.sure. while hovering, put a finger in the prop and measure how many stitches you need and how loud your scream
seriously though, amps pulled when hovering and at various speeds would be great to see. And you might want to repeat that experiment after adding some weight, as it could show a hidden benefit of higher pitched props for people carrying extra equipment.
Oh man that is a shame.I ended up flying these alot and really liked them. I looked at alot of logs, didn't necessarily see a difference in performance, but i did like them. I crashed mine and destroyed the props on a flipover on takeoff. I have one single prop left, the other three shredded against some rocks
I may have to pickup a set and see how it works with a heavy payload ( extra battery.)
I've been really lucky with my unexpected landing. the last one was unbelievable. here it is in slow motion. I seen some on me FPV and it was a mile away.I ended up flying these alot and really liked them. I looked at alot of logs, didn't necessarily see a difference in performance, but i did like them.

Well it's been hot as heck here lately and haven't been doing much flying. No scientific testing but my subjective impression is that I can see virtually no difference in flight performance. Except that they are quieter. Rapid stick input gets crisp response but then that's also true of the plastic props. The 6" pitch is not a problem - no sign of stalling. I believe I have observed a small difference when hovering in a stiff breeze. The bird seems to have less difficulty staying put and the characteristic buzzing that I usually hear is gone. But then I haven't made a direct comparison in the same wind at the same time.
Bill do you run an extra battery on your P3? just wondering if there is any different with a heavier payload.
No, I have not done the battery mod. But I do have a set of the mounting plates for a future project.
...
I'm getting a set , they look top quality Im sure they did the homework engineering these but the new phantoms are very good keeping performance flat , agresive props no problem they lower the rpm and you will notice minimal gains ...
Most beautiful props I ever see for the phantom, Digdat0 you should mark the one that survived and hang her in the wall
