5 Inch Propellers

Choosing 5 inch drone propellers for your specific quadcopter 

There are a few things to consider when choosing which 5 inch drone propellers to equip your quadcopter with. 

The benefit of shorter blades is that they require less energy to gain speed, while the reduced inertia makes them easier to control. Whereas longer blades will ultimately produce more lift and increased stability during hover, they consume a lot more energy.

Phaser FPV stocks two-blade, three-blade and four-blade propeller varieties – more blades equal more lift, but this also means more drag. If you are operating a small quadcopter with limited battery life, we recommend opting for propellers with fewer blades, for optimal performance.

As for materials, carbon fibre may be less durable than plastic, but it offers lighter propellers which make less noise and provide increased stability during flight. However, plastic blades are more cost-efficient and absorb impacts better, making them ideal for those who are new to drone racing and freestyling.
