I did't know how much important is choose the right propellers, but after changing on my multiwii and arducopter (3dr) i get no vibrations and fly very well :)

yes prop balance is very important and a determinant factor in vibrations! You need to be very carefull when selecting props since there are some variations from brand to brand. on the 10x4.5 range and 8" inches also some cheap brands sell props that come veery unbalanced and the prop hub comes tilted.. what i mean with this is that when you put the prop on a table top you will notice that one end of the prop is closer to the surface of the table than the other.. and believe me that causes a lot of vibration! with APC props i have noticed that they come almost correctly balance, but nothing that a piece of tape can solve!. I will try the GUI props also!
yes, i've these motors. Thanks to all for the info !!
More mistakes, more experience i get :)
Is it these motors?
They're recommending 8x3.8~9x5 (3S) props. These motors probably won't swing 10" props for long without overheating. Balancing the smaller props will help a lot. You'll get more stable flight with less drifting.
ok, i will try, but i read in some forum that with 1100kv motors i must use 8x4 propellers. It's right? Or I can use all type of propellers if balanced?
Guido, you will notice a big difference once you balance the bigger props.
Alex, I have Tiger motor MT2208-18 1100kv.
Ellison, I haven't balance the propeller in both cases, but i tried 8 propellers of 10x45 and the results are the same in vibrations and noise
The bigger props are more often out of balance compared to smaller props. Have you balanced your props in both cases?
