I am embarking on an arduino based quadcopter project and am an absolute newbie.After reading the discussion groups for a couple of weeks, I have some questions to help me get started. Thanks in advance for any help.1) What kind of props are being used for the copters?Are helicopter blades or regular props used?2) Regardless of which kind of props are used, which size and manufacturers are recommended?3) Which types/kinds of brushless motors and ESCs are recommended?The motors/ESCs seem to be the most expensive part of the project and as I will be ordering four I don't want to make the wrong choice.Thanks in advance,James

Quadcopters typically use regular props - except that they use 2 designed for clockwise rotation and 2 for counterclockwise rotation.
Size of props and size of motors depends on the size of the quadcopter. You may find quadcopter airframe info easier at one of the quadcopter threads on rcgroups.
