From testing, the 4 blades seems to give the most initial take off thrust, with the 5 blade or stock with same amount of throttle you barely lift off but given the prop wash the drone drifts quick also 4 blades are better in performance however its only perk so far is noise louder but not an issue unless its flying around you all day

cool comparison bro, did you experience any tumbling issues with the chopped prop guard with 4 blade props?

with 5 blades, no tumble on either, 4 blade is definitely awkward 5 blade is smooth

A pleasant surprise reception seems to be better, near the rocks on my stock setup it would drop to 25mbit today was 50mbit all the way

important: calibrate IMU and compass, gimbal

Interesting, thanks.
I'd like to know if the battery consumption increases or decreases.

Excellent comparison.  Thanks for sharing.  

Just got done with a range and flight test,

Definitely longer battery life, flew close to 4 mins and was 40% left , no tumble for sure better reception even past areas that often straight cut off on my FPV drone, avata stock definitely fall short, now with mods and setup no limits except battery  limit.  Gimbal was 38-40%

why?

It's not working without it or just for security?

Stability you are in essence modifying aerodynamics

I will be testing tomorrow

I guess orange and blues are the same angle, as I have both
