Hi there all.  I'm wondering what experienced pilots think about running 3 blade props.  I have a P3A. What do you all consider the best props for it? I like performance balanced with stability. I've done a search here with no results. Thanks

The performance of the Phantom aircraft is designed, based and tailored around their two bladed props, I have never seen any credible evidence that an extra blade improves performance in any way.

The DJI propulsion engineers put a lot of thought into that question already.
The answer isn't some badass looking, cheap unbalanced 3-blade concoction from ebay.

It's best to use the P3 propellers that come with the unit, it's not recommended to use 3rd party props at all.

How does having more blades affect the noise level? Anyone know?
