Propellers
There are TWO sets of two propellers each. One set is
designated as CW which is clockwise rotation and the
other set is CCW which is counterclockwise rotation. It is
important that the sets are installed on the correct motors
as failure to do so may result in damage to the
quadcopter and or the person operating the craft.
IMPORTANT NOTE
– How to distinguish between CW
and CCW propellers
Lay all propellers on a flat surface with the “rounded”
surface up as in the following graphic. The side of the
propeller that is furthest from the flat surface is called the
leading edge and that id also the direction in which the
blad will rotate. An alternative is to buy “self-tightening”
propellers that will fit one way only.
Most toy grade propellers are mass produced and are not
balanced. Balancing the propellers will get rid of a lot of
vibration and even some of the jello effect when filming.
In order to balance propellers properly you will need
access to a propeller balancing tool such as the OCDAY
Tru-Spin Prop Propeller Balancer or the GOOLRC
Carbon Fibre Propeller Balancer or if you are crafty
enough and have some perspex materials laying around
you could make your own.
