Supposed to lower the current consumption on unburdened Solo (no gimbal). So, not for me quite yet.

What would be the drawback not to use aside from current consumption? will the footage be smoother less vibration please enlighten me, as I'm clueless when it comes to multi-rotor props thanks in advance..

Supposedly tri-blades yield smoother more responsive flight, which should make the Solo a bit more fun in manual flight modes. They also tend to be a bit easier to balance.

For me, I fly my work Solos for field survey so flight time is paramount to me, and these are not going to do me any favors.

They seem like a nice set of props, though.

I guess I'm wondering why they are 9x4.5 rather than 10x4.5?

And why they don't have the recess for the nut? I might still spring for a couple sets just to see what comes. For ~$20 seems a low cost experiment....

My understanding is a third blade adds drag. Maybe the why to a 9" disc to reduce drag. So a higher rpm needed?!?

Wish @RolandS888 was still around to test...

 

[Saijin_Naib]

yeah, more drag, hence the smaller diameter and lower pitch

It all has to do with gearing. When changing from a 2 bladed prop to a 3 bladed prop you need to drop 1 number, meaning if you are using a 10 x 4.5 2 blade and you want the equivalent 3 blade you should either go with a 9 x 4.5 or a 10 x 3.5 in order to get the same performance, rpm's, current draw etc. If you wish to go with a 4 bladed prop, you would need to drop 2 numbers, so from the stock 10 x 4.5 you should drop to either an 8 x 4.5, 9 x 3.5 or a 10 x 2.5 and so on.
If you are currently using a 3 or a 4 bladed prop and want to go to a 2 blade just reverse the process.

Post some pics I'm curious how they look thanks in advance...........

STOP !!!! DO NOT FIT THE SOLO'S MOTOR'S. Got home and ripped open the package and quickly saw that they don't fit on the shaft.Also do not come with prop nuts and the price is for two props 1 CW 1 CCW

 

[just_bruce]

Bummer.

What has MAS had to say about that particular issue? They are usually pretty responsive.

 

[RichWest]

You likely could ream the prop hubs to fit down further. But having the short hub on stock motors will likely only engage 1-2 threads once you have the proper nuts. Not a warm/fuzzy install.

Ok, just got off the phone with MAS. Here is the deal, even with the solo in the ad they are not for it. The solo props will be out in about a week and will have pressed in prop nuts. I'm on there list to get the first ones so I will let you know when I get them.

What the? Hey man that sucks Why in the heck did they show the props on a Solo? Are they going to reimburse you?
