FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

• Will these fit a 1.0mm shaft motor? No, these are specifically for 1.5mm shafts.
• Do I have to use screws? For low-power 1S or 2S, the press-fit is usually enough. For 3S or 4S, we highly recommend using M2 screws.
• Are these better than 2-blade props? Tri-blades offer more "grip" in corners and smoother handling, while 2-blades are slightly more efficient for flight time.
• Can I use these on 1103 motors? Yes, they are a very common pairing for 1103 high-KV motors on 2S.
• What does "3016" mean? It indicates a 3.0-inch diameter and a 1.6-inch pitch.
• Are they durable? Yes, Gemfan uses high-quality Polycarbonate that can take quite a few strikes before needing replacement.
• Is the weight per prop 1.18g? Yes, making them some of the lightest 3-inch tri-blades available.
• Will these fit a 75mm Whoop? No, those usually take 40mm props. These are for 3-inch (approx. 120mm-140mm) frames.
• Do they come in different colors? We stock various colors including purple,yellow, Gray, and Blue (please check selection).
• Are they factory balanced? Yes, Gemfan props are known for being very well-balanced out of the box.
• How do I tell the difference between CW and CCW? The blade's leading edge (higher side) points in the direction of rotation.
• Can I use them for "Props-Out"? Yes, just configure your flight controller to match.
• Do they include the M2 screws? No, screws are typically included with the motors or sold separately.
• What is the screw hole spacing? Standard 5mm T-mount spacing.
• Are these props loud? Because of the low pitch, they have a higher-pitched but relatively quiet "buzz" compared to larger props.
• Will they fit 1404 motors? Yes, provided the 1404 motor has a 1.5mm shaft.
• Can I use them on a 4S build? Yes, they are great for "screamer" 3-inch 4S builds.
• How do I remove them? Use a prop removal tool or gently pry from the center hub using a flat tool.
• Will they help with prop-wash? Yes, the 3-blade design generally handles prop-wash better than 2-blade versions.
• Can I use them for cinematic footage? Yes, the 3016 is very "smooth" and popular for micro-cinematic quads.
