LED Propellers ?

VintageToyMarbles · Apr 2, 2018

Hello 2 All,
Has anyone tried these yet?
2 Pairs DJI Phantom 3 series LED Propellers for DJI F450 XIAOMI 3DR SOLO Drone | eBay

Say's 3DR Solo... Those would look cool...
Anyway, didn't see a post about it, so I guess it's a share too!

They look pretty cool. And it says they are Solo compatible. Be kinda fun to try. Of course with sUAS night flight being illegal I probably wouldn't get that much enjoyment out of them

Interesting- I wonder how well they are balanced.

Raptor · Apr 3, 2018

I was wondering that too

pyrate · Apr 3, 2018

ooo I bet they are reaaaaaal balanced
LOL

Probably as good as stock props......

Raptor · Apr 3, 2018

They look and sound very "Chinese"

I'm really tempted to buy them but can't afford to right now. Just bought 3 sets of MAS props for mine. There is no room left in the budget for more props!

I fully expect someone to proudly post a video of this cool new prop
technological wonder
And yes my eyes just rolled a bit

Hey, what's the worst that could possibly happen................. no seriously, we want guesses before the first video hits the internet...

Okay the worst that could possibly happen:[emoji41]
Seriously injury, death or loss of life other than own. Property damage, rental damage, lease damage. Hospitalization for you or those around you. Damage to your sUAS and or complete destruction of said sUAS. AND!!! Possible loss of operating license when the FAA finds out I'm flying at night.

That's the worst I can imagine......[emoji3] [emoji15] [emoji16]

Too generic, no points for you......

I'm actually thinking not only are these unbalanced, but even if they get up to speed? The damn things are likely to fly apart before the drone gets in the air.

The LED tape comes loose and wraps itself around the motor. A spectacular crash is seen all the way to the ground....in the darkness.

Is it just tape though? I'm looking and I'm wondering if the blade itself has been hollowed out to fit the LED's inside. Would make sense if it's connected to some sort of power supply/battery in the hub?

OK I have a great idea.... we start a "Go Fund Me" for a purchase of these LED props! Not to raise enough money to buy them, but to raise money for the legal defense team needed afterwards....

Actually I think you have a good point....
It was rather generic

Not a bad idea. Or someone just buys the bloody things and he/she shares the results.
