[QUOTE="Syphen, post: 40968, member: 8687"] Have friends in the plastic/composites industry take a look at it? (I actually do have friends who specialize in this..) In the end, we know that the DJI spark is an entry level 'selfie' drone with all its parts made in China. I wouldn't go out and declare the OEM Spark prop 4730 props to be a beautifully crafted high-end composite blade. I'm betting it's a pretty cheaply made blade to accommodate the cost bracket that the Spark sells in. That said, I would just compare. Do the aftermarket props come with nasty injection molding marks? Uncut or unfinished sprues? What are the bushings for spinout mechanism like? How to the blades fold in and out. I neither have a Spark in my hands, nor aftermarket props but it would be a measurement-fest and a good inspection. My only experience lies in real life GA aircraft and real props. I have a couple sitting in my shop right now for my plane. [/QUOTE]
