FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Will these fit a 1.5mm shaft motor? No, these are strictly for 1.0mm shafts. For 1.5mm, you need the 1.5mm hole variant.

2. How do I tell CW from CCW? Look at the leading edge of the blade; CW props rotate right-to-left to push air down, while CCW rotate left-to-right.

3. Do I need screws to mount these? Most 1.0mm motors rely on a press-fit; however, check if your motor hub has screw holes if you intend to use them on high-power setups.

4. Are these good for 1S drones? Yes, they are very popular for high-KV 1S brushless builds.

5. What material are they? They are made of high-toughness Polycarbonate.

6. Can I use these on a 65mm Whoop? No, 65mm Whoops usually take 31mm or 35mm props. These are for 75mm+ or open-prop frames.

7. Do they come in different colours? We typically stock Grey, Pink, or Yellow; please select your preference at checkout.

8. What is the "2023" in the title? 2023 refers to the prop size (2.0 inches) and the pitch (2.3 inches).

9. Will they break easily? They are quite resilient but will eventually fatigue after multiple hard crashes.

10. How many props are in a pack? This is an 8-pack (2 full sets of 4).

11. Do these improve flight time? Tri-blades offer more grip but slightly less efficiency than 2-blades.

12. Are they quiet? Yes, Gemfan's 2-inch series is known for a lower-pitched, quieter sound profile.

13. Can I use them for "Props-Out" configuration? Yes, simply swap the positions in your flight controller settings.

14. How do I remove them without damaging the motor? Use a specialized prop removal tool or a thin pair of needle-nose pliers to pry from the center hub.

15. What is the weight? Each prop is approximately 0.88 grams.

16. Is 1.0mm the standard size? It is standard for micro motors (08xx/11xx), while larger minis use 1.5mm or 5mm.

17. Can I use these on 2S or 3S? Yes, they are rated for the RPMs generated by 2S and 3S micro setups.

18. Do they need balancing? Gemfan props are factory-balanced and ready to fly.

19. What if my prop is loose on the shaft? Replace it immediately. A "loose" press-fit will lead to vibration or the prop flying off mid-air.

20. Can I dye these props? Clear PC props can be dyed using specialized synthetic fabric dyes.
