Does anyone know of any UK based distributors of the Xoar props for the phantom 3 cheers

Propguy, Ebay, Amazon, loads of places ? But they tend to specialise in wooden props??

I bought all of my Xoar props off of Amazon. They are a bit cheaper than on eBay. And by the way,, they are the BEST props I’ve ever used!?

So what is so amazing about these props? The motor/esc circuitry is designed for the original DJI props and their loading of the system. Any change in the propeller charistice could adversely affect this balanced system.

Me personally, I just want to give them a go I've read a lot of good reviews especially noise reduction.

I’ve been using the Xoar props for 2 years. Not once have I had any problems with them on any of my P3P’s. My opinion,,,they have no adverse effect on the circuitry and characteristics of the balanced system. They are significantly quieter, and noticeably more efficient than the stock props. And SMOOTH. I still have not had to balance any of them. The only thing that you have to watch for is,,, make sure that they are on sufficiently tight on the motors. They have a metal hub, not a composite hub. So be sure to check the tightness every time you change batteries.
Therefore, I would highly recommend the Xoar props for any P3 a/c.

So what is the correct size - I'm flying a P3A, might give them a try if I can afford it?

Just order them for a P3A or P3P. They are the same dimensions as the stock 9540 props. I have found that Amazon is the cheaper place to buy them. If I remember correctly, I paid around $35.00 for a full set of 4.

Ah, $$$, I'm in England but will have a look on Amazon on here.

Thanks

All the pics of Xoar props I've seen described as being suitable for Phantoms have had '9.5X6' written on them, not '9450', so they're not quite the same.

It's certainly good practice to check the props regularly for security but should they become even a little bit unscrewed, it could be just microseconds to spin-off as there is almost no friction between the metal thread of the motor shaft and the metal thread of the prop hub.

I don't fly wooden props but I DO fly metal-hubbed plastic props on my P3P. Here's how I add an extra bit of security in fitting my props:-

Are these props compatible with the P3?

I am wondering if these props are compatible with the P3's active braking. I think they should be, but does anyone know for sure? I have a set left over from my P2V+... https://store.dji.com/product/e300-9443-carbon-fiber-white

The ‘9.5x6 is the size and pitch of the Xoar props. They are still a direct replacement for the 9540 standard props on a P3 drone. Yes, they are not quite the same, as aftermarket plastic props are not quite the same as OEM props. Like I mentioned, I have been flying with the Xoar props for over 2 years now, have had ‘0’ problems with them. ‘0’ spin-offs. In my opinion they are better than the original DJI props.
