Low pitch and high responsiveness propellers which became popular with 5 inch quads are now moving into the micro space! This style of prop offers high performance and increased efficiency in a wide variety of builds.
These are my favorite props for all the 3.5" quads. I know the PID tunes can make a huge difference too, but I am getting little to no prop wash compared to the EMAX and HQ props.

I like how they fly, but concerned about durability
I’m running these on a 4” Apex with 1507 & a throttle limit of 75. My AUW is 447g (session5 and 1100mah 4s.) Take that into consideration when reading this review. Lol. They have great control at lower throttle. They have pretty good punch but coming out of dives I have to give it full throttle to not bottom out. Not unexpected since my settings and weight are what they are. However, I experienced the same thing running 2004’s and 4x2x3’s. I think I feel blade deflection. I don’t quite know if these have the same issue, but willing to guess that they will. If I put my motor output back to 100, the props will spin faster but still probably deflect. Spinning faster will probably lower the durability as well. I mean, they’re only 2” pitch and there’s not all that much meat at the hubs and the tips are thin, like most GF props. So, I like how they fly/feel, but worry about blade deflection and durability. Like other GF props, they still fly pretty well when they are beat up some. Overall, I might like them to be 2.5-3” pitch, and that might be just right for my rig.
I really like this radio but I had a gimbal stick pull out without any pulling on it. I've had this happen with other name brand radios so it's not a surprise or let down. A little super glue and right back at it. It feels great! I love the full sized gimbals! I have the zorro and the boxer but I think this one is the right fit for me.
Handy as a second transmitter for travel, tiny whoops, etc
Surprisingly good for the price especially with ELRS. It has just enough switches that I can do most of what I can with the TX16S, and it's so much easier to throw in a bag and go. My only wish is that I could put the thumb-grippies style of stick ends on it easily (and still remove them for storage), but maybe someone will come up with an adapter or similar. Next step is to try a Gemini ELRS nano module and see what kind of range is possible on that.
