I don't have any direct knowledge of that brand of carbon fiber props, but I have looked into carbon fiber and have reached the conclusion:  Whatever benefit carbon fiber props have to performance is greatly outweighed by the inherent danger of rotating ginsu knives.  I have read where one person, attempting to hand catch his bird with carbon fiber props, missed and props cut his fingers to the bone.  I would be reluctant to endanger others with carbon fiber props.

Don't know about a P3, but many folks have posted inferior control and stability due to the extra rigid carbon blades and recommend staying away from them.

Good feedback on CF props as I thought the same thing about the rigidness and reliability. If it affects stability, it's not on my list!

One more thing, carbon fiber props transfer vibrations more and transfer crash impact to the phantom real fast as they break last.

Wow so there you go.  No one seems to like them.  BTW-Why would you like to use them?

Thanks for all comments and advice. I will stay off the Carbon Prop and spend my money on something else.

I don't think I would use carbon props. There's some flex in the stock one and I would believe this would act as a sock absorber. Stiff one like carbon fiber would not have this effect imho
