The most reliable to recognize the correct propeller type by its shape as shown below. The thicker edge is the leading edge which moves in the direction of rotation. The trailing edge is more radical scalloped and usually thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information please read here,<a href=\"http:\/\/pix.rctoysky.com\/\"><strong><u><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><strong><u><strong>http:\/\/pix.rctoysky.com\/<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article explains how to connect the ESCs, motors and propellers to a autopilot.
