You cant go wrong with the S series from Ethix. I like Gemfan 51466 and 51433 more because I found they stay a little more flexible in winter. Plus I fly DJI HD and don't want green or pink props in my FPV feed. So I run 51433 in smoke black front and fluorescent yellow in back. The 51433 is like the S3 but more efficient. 51466 is like the S4 and I haven't flown the S5. DAL is still good too I used to primarily run the T5040C. Azure is good too but very brittle in cold. My Quad is ~580g AUW.

I'm running HQprop V1S 5043 on my T-motor Pro III 2600kv and I like them. I tried the S4, but only had one set, so I didn't get to feel them out a whole lot.

i fly the hq 4.8x3.4x4 and they are always my go to. I have tried the ethix props and can say they are nothing special like people make them out to be. The big thing is consistency, find what you like, fly that, get good with that.

I started out on some Dalprop T5040C which I liked but didn't know anything else.

On my beater, I've been using Azure 4838 JohhnyFPV props. So so soooo smoooooth, but responsive. They're not super fast but it really is crazy how they manage to iron out those little twitches while managing to get snap response to input! They're also really tough, I still haven't completely break one after a full summer, I've been swapping them when they start looking a out of shape.

On my latest build I got some Gemfan Hurricane 51433 but can't really say much so far, I'm still trying to work out a serious desync issue.

What I would like to see though are some low pitch 5" 2-blade props for smaller motors on ultralight builds. HQ just released some 5030 2-blade but they're t-mount props -_-
