Propeller sizs

i was looking for some props at my local hobby shop and all they had were 12x3.8.... and i see on the order form when you pick what prop you want the 12 is 12x4.5...... think the 3.8 will work? i have the 880 motors in the 3d frame...

  • All things being equal (and unfortunately, they rarely are), the difference is in the pitch of the blade sections.  They're probably cheap, right?  Give them a whirl, so to speak.

    Theoretically, the lower pitch will give less lift, but also less drag.  You'll likely have less thrust, but your flight times might be a bit longer.  With 880 motors, do check that the maximum RPM of these props will not be exceeded by multiplying the number of battery cells X 4.2 X 880.  Let us know how it goes.
