Arducopter 3DRB Quad Propeller Size Range

My Arducopter kit came with APC 10x4.7 propellers. I'm wondering if these are the only propellers I should use or if there is range of sizes and pitches that will work? Specifically, would it be okay to use my arducopter with 9x6 propellers?

  • Yes, However they need to spin faster. A propeller is more efficient with a larger area to grab. If they are too slow with larger area then trying to coordinate the attitude of the propellers is bumpy with a 2 blade prop. A 3 blade prop with coordination movement has less vibration.
