Cole Here! My new assortment of props came in a couple of days ago and I decided to do a little bit of a comparison. I've rated them on PERSONAL opinion. These are not facts on how they preform. I rated them mostly on handling, tune, power and "acceleration" (how well they can round corners). These props were all on the exact same setup. (even battery type, battery life, and tune (stock PIDs on Betaflight 2.8.1)) Also, sorry that I don't have an official thrust tester to get exact results. This was the best I could do. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Here's what I found:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st) DAL Q5040x4:
This prop had loads more power than any other prop. They also had great handling and "acceleration." The tune was almost spot on as well. This is starting to become my regular freestyle prop! (I also LOVE the sound :D)
2nd) DAL T5040x3:
This prop came in a close second. Although not as much power as the quad blades, it didn't drain tons of battery, while still delivering tons of power. As for tune and acceleration, these props came pretty close to the Q5040x4s. These would be a great and less expensive alternative for the HQ 5040x3.
3rd) DAL T5045x3:
I had been running these for a couple of months and I was pretty pleased with the handling, power, and tune that they had to give for the time. They can also take a MAJOR beating (I've only ever broken a total of 4 and I've had a lot of hard crashes :) ) This is an awesome beginner / intermediate triblade!
4th) Gemfan 5050x3:
To be honest I was a little displeased with these. Although they are far from the worst prop I have ever tried, they're certainly not the best. They had pretty okay power and handling, but the tune was pretty bad. But, if you've got a good tune and light setup, these would be another great beginner / intermediate prop!
